Hola Amigos! Yes it is true, I have returned from Peru… and what an experience it was. Heading to Peru, I wasn’t sure what to expect of their cuisine. Since I heard their specialty was cuy (grilled guinea pig) and alpaca steaks, I was a bit hesitant about what I might order. After my first … Continue reading
Since childhood, my mother’s lasagna has been untouchable. It’s delectable, scrumptious, and all around fantastic; it’s the best lasagna in the world. Seriously, I rarely eat lasagna apart from her recipe because it’s never quite as satisfying. With her lasagna setting the bar quite high, naturally, I’ve been hesitant to attempt to make my own lasagna … Continue reading

Sorry for the late post this week, it’s been a hectic one trying to get everything in order before spring break (and my interview in Kansas City!) The other night I did have time to whip up a batch of enchiladas though and these have been feeding me all week – along with a meal … Continue reading
It is a tradition in my family to feast on birthdays, and the food prepared for the feast is whatever the birthday boy or girl requests. I haven’t been home for my birthday since I left for Simpson College four years ago, so I’ve been missing out on this wonderful tradition. I decided all that should … Continue reading
