A blog of some sorts
This vanilla cake with festive sprinkles is absolutely one of my favorite cakes of all time. I’ve met a lot of cakes in my long cake-filled life (I’m partial to chocolate because, hey, it’s chocolate). However, this cake specifically is just something else. It literally translates to “Bride’s Cake”, and a lot of people call …
Quick and easy masa recipe for Puerto Rican pastelillos
It’s been A LONG LONG time since I’ve last blogged. It’s not like I’ve forgotten to. It’s just… I guess, I wasn’t in the right state of mind to blog. I wrote up a few recipes and couldn’t make myself publish them. They weren’t up to standard. I took a break thinking I’d get …
Chriiiistmaaaas! la, la, la laaaaa! CHRISTMAAAS! la, la, la, la, laaaaa! It’s been unusually cold here in the big old state of Texas and we’ve literally had hot chocolate for the past three days. I’ve got a few recipes down but this one is definitely my favorite.

It’s been raining non-stop here in Dallas. I’m really not complaining. It’s been too long since it last rained and fall is pretty much taking forever in arriving so this rain is more than welcome. My in-laws are also here for a visit and that’s been a whirlwind of fun. Yesterday, however, was so rainy …
I want you guys to picture me holding a basket of apples while dancing around pumpkins because that is exactly how this recipe made me feel. I bought a bag of granny smiths apples, took one bite, and then realized how I absolutely dislike granny smith apples. They’re bitter and hard to eat. I was …
I awoke this morning with a desperate hankering for a Nutella frappe. They make them pretty much anywhere back in Puerto Rico. They have all kinds too! This isn’t like the coffee frappes. This is pretty much liquid Nutella and should not be had daily. This is a treat, y’all. Don’t blame me if you get diabetes. It …
