When I was young, my nana Gloria used to make us this really awesome soup that had torrejas. Torrejas were these fried patties made with milk-soaked bread and shredded beef. Gosh. I don’t know how she made them or what she put in them, but they were delicious. They were soft and doughy, yet ...

Alfajores Cake Doughnuts – Dulce de leche, Toasted Coconut and Almond Cake Doughnuts
I bought a cake doughnut pan last week. I have no where to fit it in my kitchen drawers, but I concluded I desperately needed one. What prompted me to such need was a dream the night before of El Señor Hubs and I strolling down the Lower East Side in New York City, and stopping by The Donut Plant

I am quickly realizing I am in for the ride of my life upon moving to Atlanta. It is HOT! You may be wondering, “Well, you are from Ecuador. How could this be different?” Let me tell you – it is a different type of heat. The sun down here BURNS. And it is not even August! Generally I gravitate to
