Skip to Recipe You know those people that go to the grocery store and grab a bunch of stuff that they don’t need because it’s on sale? Well, guilty as charged. In particular, I grab ingredients that might come in handy for baking. I can’t help myself. It goes into my shopping cart as I
Happy Cinco de Mayo! Yes, the holiday where all Americans are Mexican, and all Mexicans want nothing to do with Americans. Plus, a great excuse to have some Mexican food! Technically, I was a week early, but I only got around to writing this now.
For several months, I have been urged by several coworkers to try out Latin House Grill, which is located in South Miami. A restaurant that specializes in burgers and tacos didn’t really catch my attention. After all, they are 2 very different styles of cuisine, so how can you master both? To me, it conjured
Skip to Recipe I don’t remember what exactly made me start thinking about donuts again. All I know is that, for about a week, they were quite imprinted in my mind. Then, while looking up recipes for donuts, I came across a recipe for creme brulee donuts that caught my eye. Why did no one
In case it wasn’t already obvious, I LOVE burgers. Well, I love food in general, but burgers are one of several food items that I absolutely could never do without. So, when a friend pointed out that USA Today named a local burger joint one of the Top 25 Burgers in the country, I jumped

I love chocolate cake. I love flan. So, what happens when you combine the two? Pure excellence! Pastel imposible translates into “impossible cake” for you non-Spanish speakers, and it gets its name from the seemingly impossible feat of layering creamy flan on a bed of dense chocolate cake. It is believed that this dessert originated
There are those whose metabolisms are off the charts. For the rest of us, there are diets. And, now that I am in my thirties, dieting seems to be a way of life. Except on the weekends, of course. Everyone knows that calories don’t count on Saturdays and Sundays.
Crack kills, mmkay? Colombian empanadas, while utterly delicious, are a bit of a pain to make. Seasoned cooks can probably crank them out with little trouble. I am not, however, a particularly seasoned cook when Colombian cuisine is concerned. Most dishes are so time-consuming and extensive, that I don’t make them often. As such, I don’t get a
Vegan food, to me, is a scary thing. Being a self-proclaimed foodie, it would be a hard thing for me to do – giving up entire food groups for the rest of your life. Heck, I struggle to stick to a 1700 calorie-a-day diet. But, we won’t talk about that too much.
