Healthy Bowl: Honey Peach

There is something so lovely about peaches.  It could be their sweet taste, their beautifully subtle orange color, their soft skin, or the naturally soothing effect they have on us after consumption. Or maybe it’s a combination of all of those things that make them so great! Peaches are a wonderful gift of nature. Even though grocery stores… Continue reading Healthy Bowl: Honey Peach

Mama’s Famous Carrot Cake

My husband and I brought two desserts to our Easter family get together this year. We wanted to give the family somewhat of a dessert option, and since I was the one in charge of bringing dessert, I knew I had to act upon it. 🙂 Some people love chocolate, some don’t really like it. Some… Continue reading Mama’s Famous Carrot Cake

Day two of crepe making is here. Hooray! And guys, let me tell you, my crepe-making obsession is only getting stronger.

Crepes not only taste heavenly,… Continue reading Peanut Butter Honey Granola Crepes

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)

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
