On the days I wouldn’t know what to cook while in high school I always relied on sausages (hot dogs links) to slice and cook with tomato paste, garlic, onions and some ketchup. Â That dish would go great with anything, spaghetti, rice, roasted potatoes, fried yuca, potato salad, pasta salad, cole slaw, etc. It was […]

Review on Gardein Crispy Chick’n, Amy’s Baked Beans & Daiya Cheddar!
I’ll blame this eating madness to Labor weekend and the bad weather forecast. Â The weather.com said it was supposed to rain so I decided to try a few products I’ve read are good, vegan and tasty. Â I told myself why not, and now I’m hooked. It took me 2 months missing cheese and to read […]
Fresh Sugar Cane Juice, the right way!
Sugar Cane Sugar Cane Juice is one of the most refreshing natural juices I love to drink and more on this over 80F degrees days. Â I remember visiting a Bangkok Golden last week and Chef Seng asking one of the waitresses to bring a round of Sugar Cane juice for the table. I visit this […]
Hate Salads?
My first post from my iPad, hopefully this WP won’t drive me crazy. —– Salads were never something I looked forward to eat, my experience with them were either plain slices of tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and lettuce or heavy potato salads with tons of mayonnaise. I’m very happy to say that has changed with time […]
Chili con Veggies
Not in season but boy I’ve missed tomatoes, thank you Mexico. I promised some friends I would share my regular day dishes recipe since I became vegetarian. Â I have to admit it hasn’t been easy and more when I was talked into old school Atkins Diet, so you can imagine how of a challenge it […]

The things one can do with a Ricer ♥ The main reason I’d suffer if I went on zero carb diet: no yuca A yuca memory of mine: Dad asks my mom “Yilla when are you cooking yuca?â€(she did every few weeks).  Mom is stirring a pot of Cow’s Foot soup, in a 98F kitchen, with no […]
The Sorrows of a Vegetarian
 I am a Vegetarian Wannabe – There you go I said it! The last 75 days I’ve been struggling not with the decision of becoming vegetarian and saying goodbye to delicious dead animals but mostly with the whole adaptation, you know going to restaurants, trying not to be that “vegetarian-annoying-friend” etc…  And of course i did […]
