A Tuna Tale- A Short Story
It all started on one of those rainy, humid mornings in Panama. There were protests on the streets against some new law that, as usual, hurt more than it helped.
Cocinerita Moves to Portland!
Two weeks ago I was driving across the country from coast to coast with J. It was quite the experience and not exactly what I was expecting, but in a good way! What was I expecting? – Fast Food only options on the road. – Terrible rest-stops. – Scary truck drivers owning the road. – […]
DC VegFest 2013, a Vegan Festival!
This was my second year attending the DC VegFest. Â I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it mostly because of the gloomy weather and because I’m not very good with crowds. Â I was lucky it never rained while I was there and because of avoiding crowds I missed every single talk and the […]

Salted Caramel Corn -Cupcakes- de Maiz y Caramelo

Review of Pamela’s Mix: Brownies in a Hurry!
Chocolate Brownie Mix, no shame baby! I love trying new products and though you can make brownies from scratch quickly, I still wanted to try a Gluten-Free version and I saw this package at a Target and got it!, (I think I’ve seen it too at Whole Foods too), they sell also sell Pancake and […]
40 Minutes Sunday Brunch Menu
 Chicha de Raspadura con Limón Verde y Limón Amarillo (Lemon-Limeade with Raw Sugar) Sundays gives me sweet and sour feelings, it makes me think a lot about the things I want to do that I didn’t get to do on Saturdays and at the same time I think to myself ‘heck tomorrow is Monday so […]
