The last day of June is upon which means this mini breakfast series will conclude today. Today we had a light breakfast. We had fruits (apples, strawberries and bananas), mixed nuts and Jugo de Avena. Parents remember that nourishing our bodies doesn’t have to be complicated and our food does not need to be Instagram perfect. I hope everyone has […]
On a regular day (pre pandemic) breakfast consisted of some cereal or oatmeal with a fruit on the side. Since March 15 we decided to eat a big breakfast almost every day. One because we have the time to cook up a great mean and we need to enjoy life a little bit more. Food gives us happiness! Some of […]
Every morning for the past 10 years I have had a cup of coffee with half and inch of milk. Yes, even while pregnant I drank coffee. During the summer months I like to have an ice coffee, juice or smoothie for breakfast. If the day is on the cooler side, I’ll made some Colombia hot chocolate (Chocolate Corona). For […]
How many times have you heard that eating bread is bad? I’ve heard this since I was about eight. I think I heard it on tv. Hearing that caused me to internalize it and an unhealthy relationship of guilt after enjoying some toast or a croissant was born. Yes, over eating bread can cause serious health issues. So is over […]

During the last two weeks, we have been closely following the situation in the United States. We are not citizens, but we have a special place for the U.S.A. in our hearts. However, racism and police brutality continue to shatter the lives of Black people, Indigenous peoples and POC in the U.S.A., Canada through out the world. We hadn’t understood many things until we saw the video of Mr. George Floyd’s murder. It was an inhumane act and we will not ignore it. As a white Latinx/Indian family we will continue to learn and check our privileges. We will support the ongoing decolonization of our minds and society. Black Lives Matter R.I.P. Mr. George Floyd
In the past two months I’ve cooked more than I had in my entire life. Keeping track of all the items I buy during the once a week grocery run and it has giving me a huge insight on many things. One of those things is that I use mostly the same ingredients for most of the dishes I make. […]

On Easter Sunday T and I made a delicious cake. It was made from scratch, we mastered the food coloring, the texture was fluffy, the taste on point and the frosting was sweet! Since the cake turned out so well, T and I decided to bake his birthday cake. I went to the grocery store for our weekly shopping trip and bought all the ingredients for our cake. T wanted a Oreo cake. I looked at various recipes but I couldn’t decide what to do. So I just decided to follow one recipe for the cake and one for the frosting.
Today, I will be focusing in the various dishes my family and I have been eating over the past couple of weeks. The easy part is buying healthier foods. The hard part is being creative and get the kids to eat it. Also I try to sustain a balance of food staples such as rice and bread with a healthy […]
