Doesn’t it feel like a week has passed since the last post? Well, yes, we’re back again with a new #SweetFridayGoal. Raise your hand if you don’t like chocolate or chocolatey things… Okay, I’m sure there are quite a few, but those around us certainly do. This week I’m sharing one of my go‑to recipes. They’re … Read more

Hello, sweet ones! I’m so sorry I’ve been so absent, but this week has been crazy busy with so many things, and what’s taking up most of my time these days is Mr. Dolce’s birthday with all its thousands of preparations. That’s what happens with such personalized themed parties, hehe. I’ll tell you about that … Read more

They’re very easy to prepare, although I admit that to fry them well, it’s best to gain some experience to understand the oil and its temperatures and achieve perfect results. You can also use a deep fryer; it helps a lot. What does “frying well” mean to me? Well, it means that afterward, you pick up a … Read more

It’s clear that every good Mexican can have a complete and delicious breakfast in no time with just a couple of tortillas and eggs. And while chilaquiles might have been the first thing that came to mind, we have another option that you’re sure to love: migas norteñas. That’s right, this dish is typical of northern … Read more

This is one of my favorite rice dishes, and today’s is especially special because I shared the cooking and recipe with my son. So, if you make it the same way and it turns out delicious, you have to share the credit with him. I was lucky enough to enjoy it with him; while I … Read more

There’s something magical about tearing into a warm, soft, pillowy garlic naan fresh off the skillet. The aroma of melted butter, fresh garlic, and cilantro is irresistible. But if you don’t have a tandoor, you might think restaurant‑style naan is out of reach. Not true! This quick garlic naan recipe is made on the stovetop (or in the oven) using simple … Read more

It’s very common to be offered a small bowl of salsa with some tortilla chips (tortillas cut into pieces and fried) when you’re sitting in a Mexican restaurant. Here in the United States, some restaurants use canned tomatoes for this, but using fresh tomatoes will always make the best salsa. My mom almost always has this sauce … Read more

I also have to tell you that at home I’m quite strict about a varied menu and the Mediterranean diet for everyone. The kids are growing up, and I like them to learn to eat healthily, to eat a variety of foods, and especially to appreciate legumes because they are very necessary and should be eaten often. At home, … Read more

Having a neighbor who’s half Belgian, half Spanish means learning new things, including food. And this is a perfect example. These waffles are definitely different. I didn’t have pearl sugar, which is hard to find in traditional stores. When added to the batter at the very end, some of this sugar melts when it comes into … Read more

Leeks are another one of those vegetables that are always in my pantry, a habit I inherited from my mother. At home, they’ve always been used as a base for many different dishes, like onions, but I’ve realized that I’ve rarely cooked them as the star ingredient. That’s why I couldn’t resist heading to the … Read more
