Buenos Dias…

The ultimate breakfast for me is Huevos Rancheros, hands down. Every time I see this as an option on a menu, I go for it, so much so that, if one of my friends sees it on a menu before I do, they feel the need to call my attention to it, as if I’m not going […]

Welcome home…

Despite what the temperature is here in sunny Los Angeles, it’s officially Fall, and I could not be more excited about it. As we speak, I am in full on Fall prepping mode. I’ve rearranged my closet to have easier access to cozy sweaters, warm coats, and super cute booties. I’m in the middle of […]

This time of year is so dangerous, for my waistline that is. There’s candy, cookies and treats everywhere I look. I feel like I have to navigate the halls of my office with my head down. I don’t dare to look at any shelf, ledge or desk in fear that it will be topped with […]

Can’t stop, won’t stop…

There’s a first time for everything. I am not proud to admit this but, I’ve gone 30 years of my life without ever using a slow cooker. Can you believe it? I know. As someone that prides themselves in owning many kitchen gadgets and has a full time job that does not revolve around cooking, I […]

A lil drop of goodness…

Guys…. GUYS…. did you know Pumpkin butter does not have any butter in it?? No, really, it doesn’t. Why it’s called “butter” instead of “spread”, I have no clue, but boy, is it a delicious lil’ treat. This weekend I held my annual pumpkin party so of course my girlfriends and I brought our A-game in […]

Tis the season…

It’s here, it’s here, it’s finally here! OCTOBER is here, everyone! This is the start of my favorite season. A season where the heat finally burns off, pop-up pumpkin patches are a plenty, boots/scarves/and jackets start to make their way to the front of the closet, and the joyous hopeful attitudes that come with the […]

Last night, I was in the mood to try something new for dinner. I wanted something light, easy to prepare, visually pleasing and of course, something yummy. I’ve been craving umami flavors a lot lately, specifically the earthy tastes featured in so many delicious Asian meals, so…I decided to take a crack at making the famous Vietnamese Banh […]

Sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast….

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, so naturally, I’m always in for a good brunch. I love snacking on all of the sweet breads, muffins, scones, etc. but my true brunch love is eggs. An egg dish is both satisfying and yummy in my tummy. One of my go-to egg dishes for brunch that always […]

I’m doNUTS about you…

I’ve been trying to watch what I eat lately, I’ve been tracking my calories and have been more adamant about working out daily. Not for any specific reason other than to just feel a bit healthier. So, of course I’ve been fantasizing about all sorts of goodies and sinfully delicious treats since I decided to […]

Stay simple, stay true…

The other night, my best friend and I were craving what I like to call the holy trinity of Italian ingredients – cheese, tomatoes, and fresh bread. Not a big surprise here as 50% of the time we want Mexican food and the other 50% of the time we want Italian food. 🙂 We were […]
