Recently the boyfriend introduced me to an Italian restaurant called The Old Spaghetti Factory, an American chain restaurant. It’s one of his favorite restaurants for Italian food, but if I had a choice, I tend to avoid pasta in general. Not because I don’t like pasta, I love it! That’s the problem. However, the BF insisted that I try one of their plates called Spaghetti with Browned Butter. The pasta is served topped with shredded Mizithra cheese (a Greek hard…
I love chia seeds, but I’ve only tried it in my lemonade or water. When I first heard about this chia seed pudding, I knew had to try it. After all, chia seeds are known to be a mini powerhouse packing more calcium than milk, more antioxidants than blueberries and more Omega-3 than Salmon. The chia seed is one of the oldest forms of nutrition in Mexico, Guatemala and other Central American Countries, dating back to ancient Mayan and Aztec diets,…
This week for my February Sweetness featured recipe I thought I would try a Valentine creation, a creamy liqueur infused strawberry tiramisu.

Look, we all know Chocolate takes the cake (get it?, ha!) when it comes to Valentine’s. As a matter of fact, just to make this article a little more…
Pie, pie and more pie, January 23rd is National Pie Day! Who doesn’t love a good pie? It’s the ultimate comfort dessert and that no one can resist when it’s sitting in front of them. The only thing that keeps me from baking a pie more often is the work. Some recipes can be a little challenging, from making fresh crust to creating your own filling from scratch! I don’t have time for all that. So I did a quick…
I love Champagne, as many of you already know from my photos on Instagram. I also love cake, cupcakes, basically any baked goods. So when I learned about a Champagne Mimosa Cake recipe, I knew I had to try it. No regrets, it was delicious! What I loved about this cake, besides it having Champagne, is it’s orange flavor with it’s silky buttercream flavor. I don’t want to brag, but it’s one of the best cakes I’ve baked so far.…
Pozole is a hearty rich Mexican stew, that originated in the state of Jalisco, Mexico, and is traditionally prepared during special occasions or holidays.
