I am NOT a big fun of pizza, or after 9 months of eating pizza once a week I should restate the phrase. I was not a big fun of pizza. Joaquin’s favorite food is pizza. He loves it! More often than I would like we buy pizza from a super small, but super good […]

I simply love Gnocchi! When I go out for dinner, and I see the restaurant has gnocchi nothing else matters. And yes, I do not share my gnocchi! Potato gnocchi, ricotta gnocchi, pumpkin gnocchi, give other variations and I love them all.  The issue with gnocchi is that either they are great or they suck! […]

When people think of molten or lava cake, they think of this sophisticated and complicated dessert to prepare, but what if I would tell you that you only need 3 ingredients. Yes, you are reading right, 3 ingredients: eggs, dulce de leche, and flour.  Ok, yes, those little ramekins which you probably don’t have at […]

No excuses that you do not have them at home.  You can eat it by it self, with some strawberry/raspberry jam, with whipped cream, dulce de leche. […]

Cornbread… a great combination of flavors and textures. To eat by itself or toasted with butter and honey. A holiday dinner staple. No Thanksgiving dinner is complete without a cornbread on the table. This cornbread has 2 twists: corn kernel, and chili flakes.  The problem with the cornbread is that it dries up very fast […]

Back in February after a month I started dating Joaquin, he had asked me if for his friends birthday we could give them the birthday cake as a present. How could I say no? And so, we embarked in the journey of prepping birthday cakes at least 2 or 3 times a month.  I started […]

The holiday season does not begin until one bakes gingerbread cookies. The scent that gets spread around the house while the cookies are in the oven its wonderful. It is as clear as you if you would build the Christmas tree or put out the Chanukkiah. Gingerbread cookies is the synonym for Holiday season. Out […]
