Hi, I’m Crystal.
Welcome to my kitchen! I didn’t grow up learning how to cook. My mom wasn’t much of a cook either, so when my husband and I got together, my go-to meals were pretty much ramen and pizza rolls. Eventually, I got tired of feeling like I had no idea what I was doing in the kitchen, so I started trying recipes I found on YouTube and Pinterest.
At first, I was just trying to learn how to make a decent dinner. Then I started having fun with it. I tried new ingredients, figured out what my family liked, and found myself looking forward to cooking for them. Now it’s something I genuinely love to do.
Here, I’m sharing the recipes I make at home, from Puerto Rican favorites to tacos and whatever else ends up on our table. Some are inspired by things I learned along the way, with my own little changes. I hope they give you ideas for your own kitchen, whether you’ve been cooking for years or you’re starting where I did. If I learned how to cook, you can too!
