I think most of us can relate to the pure and untainted joy that comes with eating chocolate chip cookies. As a kid, even packaged cookies were a treat. As an adult, I think homemade is the way to go.

Bourbon Steak (A Review)
Well, here we are, Miami Spicing it up again. This time, our target was Bourbon Steak in Aventura. Bourbon Steak has been on my radar for a while, but the funding was just never there to go try it out. This is precisely the reason why I made it my mission to come here during
Town Kitchen and Bar (A Review)
Here at The Broke Baker, we are all about trying new things on a budget. So, when Amazon Local came out with a deal for a place called Town Kitchen and Bar in South Miami, I jumped on it. I had never actually heard of this place, but that’s not exactly uncommon. Restaurants come and

Tapas, it seems, are all the rage nowadays. With Miami Spice still in effect, it was a chance for my to try out some tapas for myself.

Sugar Cream Pie
It would be an absolute lie if I said that I would have ever come across this recipe if I didn’t have a quart of half-and-half sitting in my fridge that I had no idea what to do with. As it turns out, I’ve been missing out. The Hoosiers were on to something when they
Pandebono
Pandebono, if you ask me, is one of the best things to come out of Colombia. It is not uncommon to eat this at breakfast with a cup of coffee or cocoa, but is also eaten during the day as a snack.
Doña Rosa’s Rice Pudding Empanadas
Rice pudding, I’ve noticed, comes in many different varieties. Still, my experiences with rice pudding have always been where it is served in a bowl for you to eat with a spoon. So, when my aunt mentioned the rice pudding empanadas that my grandmother used to make, it was definitely a surprise. As it turns
