Where Cooking Meets Photography
Ropa Vieja was a staple dish in my mom’s cooking repertoire that she would make again and again when I was younger. Although ropa vieja is the Cuban name for it. In Nicaragua, we just call it carne desmenuzada (shredded meat). It’s basically the same thing though. My mom would …
This week I’m bringing you an indulgent recipe that for me just screams comfort food. It’s cheesy, it’s carb-y and it’s out of this world. This Taco Mac and Cheese combines cheesy noodles with taco-seasoned ground beef. The star of the show however are the taco toppings that finish off …
A while ago I shared the recipe for these Peaches and Cream Cheese Danish. They’re one of my all time favorite danish recipes and they’re super easy because they use store-bought puff pastry. But anyhow, I digress because this post isn’t about those danish. It’s about this Peaches and Cream …
After what feels like a very long hiatus, I’m finally back! I took some time off to work on a great project, that I can’t wait to share with you all. More on that soon! It completely ate up all of my free time, and between that, my other monthly …

I shared these Spinach Artichoke Deviled Eggs on my Instagram as a reel last week and I loved them so much I figured I should share them on the blog as well. Just to have a more concrete place for the recipe. It’s like spinach artichoke dip meets deviled egg …
I’ve had a love affair with Peruvian food ever since my oldest sister was in high school and her first boyfriend’s family was from Peru. I remember trying it for the first time and it was amazing. To this day (she’s no longer with him) but we all still can’t …
I originally shared a video for these Bacon Cheeseburger Meatballs over on my Instagram a few years ago and they were a hit. I’ve gotten a few messages and comments over the years to add the recipe to this site to have a more convenient and permanent location for the …
This just might be one of my craziest ideas yet. I wanted to turn a classic New England shrimp boil into a fun and new appetizer or snack. So I present to you these New England Shrimp Boil Fritters. It’s like a corn fritter made with fresh corn, shrimp, potatoes …
