I have painful memories of a Tupperware Juicer making that “ñññññññ” sound at 6:30 in the morning as my mother shoved the most disgusting vegetables a bleached skirt-wearing pubescent girl could think of! Celery, radish, broccoli, beet, carrot, and all other yuckness!

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.

Though not a staple in Latin food, it’s definitely something I love to use. Its aroma and essence add something very special to dishes. I’ve recently been using it a lot with my sweet plantain dishes!
Oh my gosh! These badboys were a b-day gift from my photographer! Can you imagine me pressure cooking in these sweet mama’s!!?
