My husband is technically from Louisiana. He wasn’t born there, but grew up there from age 2. He has the love for Cajun food in the palate. Hence, I make ketogenic meals with enough flavor to get him excited about keto. This Keto Low Carb Cajun Shrimp was a hit for all, except my toddler. […]
Since starting a keto lifestyle, I have been loving easy and portable meals that can double as snacks. I have a toddler so anything that is easy to grab and go can save my day. These keto low carb scotch eggs are very simple to prepare and keep in your fridge for the week ahead. […]
I have been experimenting with keto recipes and making videos of them. They are pretty basic, but I hope it helps others like me. If you are starting keto or low carb, these stuffed peppers with a twist may be your thing. These peppers can be eaten just like that. I add guacamole and hot […]
Christmas season has arrived and Puerto Ricans everywhere are thinking about Coquito… and probably homemade liquor of various flavors called Ron Caña or Pitorro similar to USA’s moonshine. Coquito is similar to eggnog, but it doesn’t contain eggs… or does it? I decided to get down to it and try few recipes to pick my […]
Since moving to Houston, TX I haven’t found too many places with bacalao in any form or fashion. In fact, the only place I found, closed down in 2010. I am sure I have to do some digging around town and find a place. After Hurricane Maria, the diaspora has spread out even more so […]

I have been away for too long and can’t wait to get back to blog about food and adventures. As my first recipes were plantain last year, I decided to do plantains this year. I did piononos or some may say mini-pastelones. I don’t mind what you call it as long as you try it. […]
If you have heard “We wanna wish you a Merry Christmas x3 from the bottom of my heart” during the holidays, you may wonder about the artist… Jose Feliciano is Puerto Rican. I can hear it on the radio quite a few times from Thanksgiving to Christmas. The wonders of a little island can reach far beyond […]
Thanksgiving or Accion de Gracias at my family was a major event when we were kids. My dad’s family is pretty big so anything with them was big. We celebrated at my Abuela’s house for many years. We used to have turkeys from almost every household – about 10 to 15 turkeys. All turkeys were […]
With Thanksgiving just a mere 2 weeks away, we all need to start preparing for it. I have decided to split my Thanksgiving post in two. I want the stuffing to get as much attention as the whole meal. This stuffing was made while my mom visited shortly before Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico. I […]
