Vegan Zucchini Bread

Yesterday was one of my best friend’s birthdays. And naturally, as a good friend would, I baked her a nice little birthday treat! This particular friend of mine is Vegan, so her treat needed to be a Vegan-friendly treat. I didn’t want to make her something too sweet or too heavy; I was thinking it… Continue reading Vegan Zucchini Bread

Confetti Tofu Scramble

Have you had tofu scramble before? If you haven’t, we must rectify the situation. And I have just the recipe for you! Tofu scrambles are so versatile…they can be made in so many different ways (with various vegetables, herbs and spices!) They can be enjoyed with a variety of side dishes (bagels, toast, tortillas, potatoes, etc.) and its something one… Continue reading Confetti Tofu Scramble

Colombian Cornbread

My family and I are now back from the beach (if you follow me on Instagram, you probably were able to tell I was somewhere tropical) — we came back up to the Andean mountains yesterday, climbing somewhere around 9,400 feet in altitude. Crazy change, huh? The city my parents live at in Ecuador, Quito,… Continue reading Colombian Cornbread

Torta de Maqueño (Banana Cake)

When I think back of meals with my family while growing up, a very vivid sweet smell comes to mind right away. A scent powered by Ecuadorian bananas, sugar and cheese. I remember coming home from high school with my brother. We were dropped off by the school bus a block away from the entrance of our… Continue reading Torta de Maqueño (Banana Cake)

NiceCream (Banana Raspberry)

One of the absolute BEST ways of using old and spotty bananas is to make NiceCream! (You thought I was gonna say “banana bread” didn’t you? That was so last year; the new hot thing is “NiceCream” — so be sure to jump on the bandwagon! 😉 ) Most of us seem to “collect” spotty bananas on our… Continue reading NiceCream (Banana Raspberry)

Heart of Palm (Vegetarian) Ceviche

Okay you guys…today I have an oldie, but a goodie for you! It’s a traditional Ecuadorian appetizer, which all Ecuadorians ADORE. We eat this while at the beach, highlands, jungle, Galapagos…you name it; just anywhere and everywhere. It is so delicious, so refreshing, so healthy, and so good for you. Ceviches are typically enjoyed at the begging… Continue reading Heart of Palm (Vegetarian) Ceviche

Coconut Flan

Yesterday was one of those days where I felt like devouring everything and anything I could get my hands on (watch out kitchen!) — I had the appetite of a lioness, and could not control it. Wrawr! I know this happens to a lot of women as well (thank goodness I am not the only freak): one is… Continue reading Coconut Flan

Pie de Limon (Lemon Meringue Pie)

I am sharing another one of my mother’s specialties today (I am still in Ecuador and I am loving every second of learning more and more of my mother’s little kitchen secrets!) This pie is to die for. It’s simple and bold. Some of my favorite recipes only carry few ingredients (less is more, or so they… Continue reading Pie de Limon (Lemon Meringue Pie)

Vegan Cinnamon Rolls

Warning: these Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls are dangerously good! (There, you’ve been warned.) They are the kind of treat you want to make once every blue moon…and only when company’s coming over (to have people help you eat them.) At my home, we made the horrific mistake of making these when we had no company over.… Continue reading Vegan Cinnamon Rolls

Frozen Blackberry Meringue Dessert

I have a the recipe of the year for you! Sweet and deliciously satisfying. It is my mother’s recipe, so I cannot take any credit for it. She has been making this dessert all of my life…since I can remember, actually. This little bundle of goodness brings nothing but great childhood memories my way; my mom used to take it… Continue reading Frozen Blackberry Meringue Dessert
