I'm just a simple girl who's fallen in love with the city of San Francisco and the world of food. Having grown up in Miami, I find myself far away from home, but comforted by cooking and enjoying food with the ones I love. Here's to my mom who has always cooked with fresh, simple ingredients and oh so much love. She's taught me everything I know and I am forever grateful!
Like mother, like daughter! My mom getting silly with crab legs at Pike Place Market in Seattle.

With that said, this blog started out as a simple cooking diary, a place where I could share my recipes and restaurant adventures but as I continue on this culinary journey I've come to learn so much about the impact food has on our day to day lives and on our health in the long run. With issues like child obesity, health care reform, and sustainability making headlines these days I couldn't resist diving in to the subject head first and sharing my learnings and experiences.
Hope you enjoy!
