It’s been a very long time since I’ve posted on this blog, so it is only fitting that the comeback post is about something very dear to my heart, and stomach – the flaky, creamy, sweet deliciousness that is bougatsa (or boubou as my friends and I like to lovingly refer to it). For those of you…

Chicken n’ Waffle Sandwich
Dear Sandwich Monday, Thanks again for inspiring me to try another crazy sandwich combo-the Chicken and Waffle sandwich. As a fan of traditional chicken n’ waffles, it was great, but, just FYI, the sandwich tastes way better with some maple syrup on it. xoxo, Fatty Bloom ______________________________________________________ Ingredients Belgian waffle (you could make your own,…
It’s a bacon-anza!
I love bacon. Although I don’t eat it as often as people think I do (if I did, I probably could not get my arms over my giant, permanent, bacon-induced, food baby to reach the keyboard and type this post) I do like to try to find new ways to add it to recipes whenever…
Cooking with Ratios
I really like baking but don’t like that I always have to follow a recipe. I have trouble memorizing them and always need to keep referring to one in a book, scribbled on a piece of paper or on my phone or computer which inevitably means there are clumps of some kind of baking mix…

Feliz navidad, Cuban style
The holidays are about spending time with family and friends, and all about eating. This seems especially true when I visit my parents for the holidays. Each year I go to Miami for Christmas and spend the majority of my time there visiting family and cooking and eating tons of food (with most of the…
Green bean casserole…gobble, gobble
Guess I must be on a green bean kick lately, but when I had the chance to prepare a dish to bring to a Thanksgiving dinner, I decided to make green bean casserole. I love the traditional green bean casserole made with Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom soup and French’s fried onions. This year though, I…
