June got here before I could do anything about it. I made this recipe last month and had all the intention to share it. One thing led to another, and before I could blink, I was on a plane on my way down to South America. I will share more about my trip in future...

January keeps crawling in and as much as I really want to start moving away from all the hearty foods I ate during the holidays, I seem to be craving more and more comfort foods than ever. Blame the weather! You can follow all my indulgences on my Instagram feed. Last...

It is the second week of January and it is cold outside. As I sit here typing away it is snowing, it is cold but not as cold as it was for the last couple of days. It is soup weather for sure. I love making soups, stews, caldos, asopados, and everything in between. My...
