Some people don’t like to share their recipes. Period. I have a great aunt who shares her recipes only with her family members and has told me that she will come after me if I publish them! Even from the grave!!!!! Ja! I truly respect that, especially with people that make money from their recipes…

Meringue Frosting
Well my friends, here is the long awaited recipe for a foolproof meringue frosting! This is one of the recipes people ask for the most. I had previously published a recipe for a meringue frosting (which I will substitute with this one), but that frosting technique had its disadvantages. The previous meringue frosting recipe had…
Traditional French Toast
Given the choice of pancakes, waffles or french toast for a Sunday brunch, I will always go with the latter one. French Toast or Pain Perdu (lost bread in French) has always been my favorite! Ever since I was a little girl, I have made this recipe. Yes, this same recipe… I prefer to use Challah bread…
Banana Bread
There are many fulfilling experiences someone can have in life and harvesting your own food is right there among my top 10. Unfortunately, I sometimes believe I have the record of having the worst “green thumb” in the world! I try to educate myself, read and learn from trial and error, but I admit, mostly…

Cherry or Blueberry Topping
When it comes to ice cream, I tend to be a vanilla-flavor kind of gal. Nevertheless, I love to dress it up with fruit toppings, hot fudge, nutella, caramel or some sprinkles. During last week, we had our niece and nephew stay with us for a few days. I had fresh cherries and fresh blueberries…
Vanilla Buttercream Icing
According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary an entrepreneur is someone who organizes, manages and assumes the risk of a business and enterprise. I come from a long line of entrepreneurs. My great-grandparents and great-ucles on my father’s side, like many other immigrants, came to Puerto Rico from Spain during the beginning of the twentieth century in…
Paella Marinera- Free Giveaway
I am enamored with traditional Paella! The first time I actually attempted to make a Paella was in 2000, a couple of years into our marriage (about 11 years ago). We were still childless and had recently moved to a house in a nice neighborhood filled with young couples with little or adolescent children. …
Blueberry Muffins
For years I was trying to find a homemade Blueberry Muffin recipe that I felt was truly worth the calories. Since I was a child, I have been obsessed with these treats. Anything with berries actually, but Blueberry Muffins are irresistible to me. Blueberry Muffins were not popular in Puerto Rico while I was…
