Confessions Of A Foodie – Part 1: Fresh Mango Salsa & Patio Tour + Video

Hi beauties!  I know I mentioned it once before (probably long ago) but in case you missed it,  I LOVE to cook. My family still has trouble grasping the fact that I like to get my hands dirty in the kitchen. I guess you had to have known me growing up. I was the girl that burned box mac and cheese and had no idea how to scramble an egg.


Confessions of a Foodie:  Growing up in Panama, I watched my abuelita work her magic in the kitchen from the break of dawn to sundown. It seemed that as long as we were awake, something was simmering in her busy kitchen. Cooking was my abuelita’s way of expressing her love for all of us and anytime something was wrong, she’d fix the problem with a bowl of delicious sancocho (or vicks lol). I had no interest in cooking at the the time, in fact, I used to say;  I’m never cooking, cleaning, or getting married when I grow up.

Oh the irony!

So you see, despite the fact that I had no interest in being in the kitchen, cooking is in my blood and one day the urge was bound to kick in.

To be continued…
