Where Cooking Meets Photography
I’ve recently been trying to make better choices in the kitchen and one of the small steps I’ve often overlooked is just how clean I’m getting my produce. I normally just rinse them quickly under water but some are sprayed with waterproof pesticides, covered in waxes, and rigorously handled—by so …
The other week I had this grand idea to make cinnamon roll conchas. I tried to give them a go and unfortunately they did not turn out right. They tasted incredible, don’t get me wrong, but they looked awful. They were all wonky and the topping slid off and cracked …
Two of my favorite side dishes at a steakhouse (or a prime rib restaurant) are twice baked potatoes and creamed spinach. They just go so well with steak and so I always end up choosing those two as my sides. I decided to combine the two to create the ultimate …
I’m a huge fan of s’mores and an even bigger fan of coffee cake. Coffee cake is like my ultimate sweet craving because it’s not too sweet and there’s cinnamon involved and the crispy crunchiness from the streusel topping. You just can’t beat it! But with summer winding down, I …
I love a pot pie, especially this time of year. Although to be honest, it still feels like summer here in Los Angeles and it honestly feels like it’ll never be cold again. But I digress. Pot pie is the kind of dish that I always think about but for …

One of my favorite flavor combinations is strawberry and pistachio. I just feel like they go so well together. You might’ve guessed this already since I’ve shared a few recipes on the site already with both ingredients together. This cobbler, cupcakes, and this eton mess (my personal favorite). I recently …
I posted this Spicy Smoked Gouda recipe as a video a while back on TikTok and it went viral. A bit crazy since I didn’t even think a lot of people would react that much to it. But needless to say it blew up there and some people kept asking …
A very long time ago on the blog, probably within the first year of it’s inception, I shared a recipe for my favorite banana cream pie. It was modeled after my favorite pie from a bakery I would frequent growing up. For me, the best part was the toasted sliced …
Ropa Vieja was a staple dish in my mom’s cooking repertoire that she would make again and again when I was younger. Although ropa vieja is the Cuban name for it. In Nicaragua, we just call it carne desmenuzada (shredded meat). It’s basically the same thing though. My mom would …
