Blackberry Ice Cream

If there is one thing I can have over and over again is a good waffle. And I think it shows, as I keep sharing Paleo-friendly waffle recipes over and over again with you guys. 🙂 And now that you have multiple waffle options to choose from on my blog, I thought I’d share ideas… Continue reading Blackberry Ice Cream

World Famous Guacamole

Whenever we have a family event or get-together, it is very likely that my mother-in-law and sister-in-law will ask me to bring my Guacamole. They loooove my Guacamole. It is really cute to see them eat and enjoy it so much, so of course I always say yes. 🙂 I just recently brought it for a 4th of… Continue reading World Famous Guacamole

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)

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)

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

Stuffed Avocados

This is what I had for lunch today. So light, refreshing and filling. I have a deep love and respect for avocados; I usually will incorporate them as much as I can on a daily basis. I use them in my salads, smoothies, with my eggs, with tuna, eat them by themselves…on everything and with… Continue reading Stuffed Avocados

Ecuadorian Shrimp Ceviche

My husband and I had one of his friends from work (and his beautiful wife) over for dinner a few nights ago. We had such a good time with them! We drank wine, ate delicious food, and talked the night away. Today I’ll be sharing one of the appetizer recipes I made for them that… Continue reading Ecuadorian Shrimp Ceviche
