This week has been a whirl wind. You don’t want to know. Really. S*** hit the fan, people got on my nerves and I had to get real aggressive with others.
I almost chucked my pumps at a creditor, but then I thought he wasn’t worth a $400 replacement.
I just don’t like people this week.
So while [...]

I’ve been sitting on sharing this recipe because it’s being published in my cookbook. So I’m still not even sure if I’m going to offer the recipe this time. Please do forgive your friend if I don’t.
But I’m inspired to talk about it, because, quite frankly, it’s my [...]
I’m not talking much today. Will be a feat for me. I swear it will. I can think of 20 reasons as to why I could sit here for the next hour and *talk* to you guys; LIKE:
Amy Poehler’s rap on SNL ** I almost died of laughter **
How I’m going to hustle a [...]

I’d be so wrong and would be renounced of my Latinhood if I ended the day without mentioning it’s been Hispanic Heritage Month for the last 29 days, ending tomorrow. I’m not exactly sure why I’ve failed to honor it somehow, but better late than never, so they say.
Yo soy Latina, [...]
Can’t you tell I’m UBER EXCITED. GIRL FOOLISH EXCITED! I wish all my weekends were as sweet as this past. It seems as though I’d have to move back to DC to enjoy these moments. So many last minute beautiful things occurred in the last few days. Not that great things don’t happen in Atlanta [...]
Hi, I’m a Cuban girl named Bren! My friends call me B. And Chelsea is my alter-ego. I cook, sing, and freelance travel write, professionally. I’m a single gal living in Atlanta for the time being. I’m a soulful chick. I have a passion for all things food. I like to say I’m good ass cook, especially with the pressure cooker! 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!
Really native to China and India, Star Anise is an evergreen seed we use in our foods to give dishes a distinct flavor. Its licorice aroma and taste definitely makes for a unique flavor. Our primary use though is to alleviate stomach pain and gas associated with acid reflux. I grew up drinking anise tea my mom would make if any of us felt sick. So today I make tea when I don’t feel so well. It really does help! Stick a few stars in boiling water and let it steep for 3 minutes. I also have started using it to make drinks and dessert. A new fave spice in my rack!
Let’s see. I own over 150 hats and anytime I see a new one I really like, I must have! This one from Banana Republic doesn’t escape my budget! Knit button beanie, $29
This incredibly bad looking Concord C1 Tourbillon Gravity is the hottest thing in men’s timepieces. I’d rock it too! But for $320,000 I’ll stick to my Movado!
