Thank you so much for coming to my blog!

I am an Autism mom who found a deep love for cooking after leaving my career to stay home and care for my special needs son. I describe cooking as my way of finding joy and eventually purpose during a very tough time in my life. I began sharing my recipes with family and friends on social media. That led to starting a website, subsequently a career in food blogging, content creation on YouTube and recipe development for brands.

I am proudly of Dominican descent. Born in New York City and raised between the Dominican Republic and New York City. Now living in sunny Arizona. Sunny days are my thing btw! You will find my Caribbean and American upbringing influencing my recipes and most notably in my clever twists on classic recipes from all over the world.
