the sweet life

As you know if you have been reading this for a while (I wouldn´t know, since no one cares to comment ), I´m trying to stay away from my much-loved baked goods. It´s working pretty well because it allows me to discover new things in the savory and light department, but sometimes it is [...]

foodie

Well, after taking pretty much forever to write a second entry, I´ve decided the direction I want to take. No, I don´t mean with my life, I´m pretty far of figuring that one out, but with this blog… if we can call it that.
Since moving out on my own last August, I´ve explored my love [...]
