my story...

 I live in Virginia with my sassy dog, Maya. As I think back to my childhood and adult life,  I have so many great memories that are centered around the dinner table. 

I am using Hey Bonitas to share recipes that have been passed down generations in my family. My great-grandmother taught my grandma her traditional recipes and eventually my grandmother taught my mom. I am very fortunate that both, my mom and grandma, are now teaching me their ways!

My goal is to make their traditional recipes, easy, simple, and as flavorful as they make their food! I learned the hard way that my grandma, Lala, does not use measuring cups or any type of measuring tool! There have been many occasions when I have asked my grandma, “Lala, how much flour does this recipe call for?” and in many instances she has said, “Oh a few fistfuls.” After a few years of trying her recipes and measuring things out, I have figured out how many cups she’s referring to! 

I  will also be sharing other more common recipes that I've put my own spin to! 

Other topics I will blog about include travel and lifestyle. Join me as I try to figure out life and try new adventures! 

Love, Steph ♡
