Growing up in a Puerto Rican family, it seems we are taught that food is love. If you dare tell my grandmothers you aren’t hungry, you have personally offended them and you better take that plate of food that is piled to the sky…even if all you do is pick at the plate. Just smile and say thank you. Whenever we had gatherings growing up, I remember hanging out in the kitchen with my mom, sister, and aunts.
There is just something so comforting about the kitchen to me. I love to eat and I love to feed people good food. The kitchen is the first thing I want to see when we look at a moving into a new place. I have to have a big open kitchen for me to cook and enjoy my kitchen.
For me the heart of my home is my kitchen. I cook and bake my food with love. And I hope that whoever eats it will enjoy every bite. No, not every meal I’ve ever made has been edible, but you can usually see all the work I put into it. I am still a work in progress. The kitchen and I are bonding more each year. I hope to one day be able to cook without having to read through my recipes, but it works for me right now.
