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)

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.

This is a lot of guacamole, considering our portion consists of a full Molcajete (shared between two people). Usually my husband ends up eating a little more than me, so that‘s a good thing I… Continue reading Bacon Guacamole

These three seem to trigger some sort of chemical (or so I think) reaction in our brains that brings back perfectly clear memories in a matter of seconds…just… Continue reading Patacones (like Plantain Chips, but better!)
