I’m not here to impart my religious beliefs on you. This is about food and the occasional travel excursion.
But I have to tell you quickly, how very blessed I am. God throws me little rays of sunshine all the time. And I’m so undeserving.
This just happened today. My dear friend A, whom is also my [...]

*this might turn out to be a long post. And I was having tech difficulties with uploading the pics, thus the tardy post.*
My friends, I’m finally coming off my high. It’s taken two full days but I’m all good now. I slept all day Tuesday and yesterday after much needed rest. Today has been kind [...]
Oh my goodness people. I can’t even wait to the food part of this post. I have to tell you right now. I had the worse flan ever on my last night in St. Maarten! I hate to even put this out there, but I was in such shock. When I saw espresso flan on [...]

What a crazy week I’ve had. I could have stuck a needle in my arm to numb the stress. Wouldn’t it be cool to do that and sweetness come out? Like chocolate almond ice cream?Okay, that was nasty. Sorry. But it’s all I could think of that would make the amount of work be manageable.
I’m [...]

Mi nombre es Brenda. My friends call me B. And Bren is my stage and pen-name. I’m a single gal living alone in Atlanta for the time being. I’m a soulful chick. I have a passion for all things food. I sing and song-write on the side, but cooking is what pays my bills! I like to say I’m a pretty darn cook! I was raised in a very traditional Latin home, which meant everything happened(s) in the kitchen, literally! story-telling, crying, partying, fighting...oh yeah and cooking!

We all know this spice. Coined as the most expensive spice in the world, we love to cook with this tiny little thread. It is mainstay in any Latin kitchen. Used for rich yellow/reddish coloring and a smoky flavor, we primarily use it in our yellow rices and some meat dishes. Though saffrons pocket pinching pricetag, a fine, high-grade batch of threads will yield enough color and flavor to last a long time. If you don’t have saffron dollars, a great substitute is either annatto or achiote, both coloring agents with similar properties. My fave dish to use saffron in, “arroz con pollo”! I’ll soon post on how to use it with some recipes. Enjoy!
Another Chloe masterpiece. Great for traveling all over the world!
