Paleo breakfasts are the best kind of breakfasts. They do such a great job at filling you up, keeping you satisfied, giving you energy, making you feel good afterwards (not bloated or uncomfortable), and at being incredibly delicious. So, Paleo is definitely my pick whenever I want to prepare a fun breakfast for my family on weekends or on special occasions; I’ll typically serve… Continue reading Paleo Almond Flour Waffles with Maple Syrup and Berries

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
How-To: Boil the Perfect Egg
In light of the awesome holiday we have upon us – Easter – I decided to make a fun “How-To” post on one of its food staples: the hard boiled egg.

Nutella Strawberry Banana Crepes
Day two of crepe making is here. Hooray! And guys, let me tell you, my crepe-making obsession is only getting stronger. Yikes! 🙂 I’ve been making crepes left and right — to the point where I just leave my crepe pan on the stove permanently (as soon as I wash it, I put it back… Continue reading Nutella Strawberry Banana Crepes
Peanut Butter Honey Granola Crepes

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