Try as I might, it takes a Herculean effort to get myself to cook which is part of the reason I was gifted 1 month of Fresh N Lean meals, so I bring you… my review. Fresh N Lean is a meal delivery service with a variety of meal type options, and it’s great because you just heat the meal up and eat it.

My partner, Austin, doesn’t ask for a lot. In fact, it’s quite difficult to find out what he wants for his birthday, or anytime I want to get him a gift, so when he showed interest in doing the Hot Ones challenge, I didn’t blink twice. Let’s go! We invited a few friends because the more the merrier, and so we wouldn’t struggle all on our lonesome. LOL 

As a Mexican-American, I struggle with my identity because I didn’t grow up with what I thought was the traditional “Mexican-American” lifestyle, in a Spanish-speaking household and didn’t know my grandparents for very long. In the past few years, I have realized that that part of me is important enough that I want to learn more about it, from Spanish to making tres leches cake.

One of the most interesting/intriguing games at a baby shower (to me) is the diaper candy game, at least in my opinion. As a DINK (Dual Income No Kids), I don’t plan on having a baby shower, nor do I go to any. But I want to play this game without the candy being in a diaper! And I’m an adult now. I can have ice cream for breakfast, if I want. So we’re going to play the candy game because we can.

One of my goals this year is to increase my culinary knowledge, and what better way to do that than to learn from the best. Definitely also part of this is sharing that not everything is going to look “restaurant perfect”, no matter how hard I try.

If you like hiking, reading, and cafes, then we should probably be friends. But also, I want to share a few places to stop at, and things to do, if you’re visiting Santa Fe, New Mexico. I got the opportunity to interview a local, and she gave me all the inside scoops of a few great bookstores, some cafes, and a magnificent view.

There are plenty of coffee shops in Austin, Texas, but finding one with POC owners was especially difficult. After hours of searching, I found a few coffee shops with POC owners and want to share the experience and give support.

Portland has a lot of coffee. This is an exploration of a few coffee shops in Portland, where you could just about taste the culture.

I've made this simple dairy free pesto recipe so many times that I just had to share it with anyone that likes simple things, that likes dairy free things, that likes pesto things. Our basil plant can't keep up.

Have you ever flipped a pancake? Because pancake flipping is flipping fun. I guarantee it. Once you can actually flip the pancake so it lands in the pan.
