This Michoacan abuela is rocking the internet with her down-home Youtube shows.  Read about her here: https://hiplatina.com/mexican-abuela-traditional-recipes-youtube/

 

She is very sweet and straightforward.  The closed captioning can be set to either English or Spanish.  Link to videos here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJjyyWFwUIOfKhb35WgCqVg/videos

For many years (in the past), Michoacan was the state with the highest number of immigrants going to the US; many villages were left without any adult men.  Almost any time I meet a Mexican in Florida,  when I ask, they are from Michoacan.  I tell them the truth: even though we live in Jalisco, sin duda Michoacán es la mas bonita estada en Mexico.  It really is.  Sadly much of it was and is, cartel turf fight territory.

Yes my guy from Michoacan taught me about pumpkin flower quesadillas - they could not afford cheese. Dad came to Texas - over 10 years to get the payment when he was killed in a factory accident.
