Disneyland fun at Halloween Time!
Hey Guys! I’m finally home from traveling (for now, lol) I just had the best time in California with my family during the Halloween season. I’m not the biggest fan of Halloween tbh but all of the decor and events going on in the Disney Parks for the season were actually pretty cool. This vid is kind of a mesh of all the days of our trip because I wanted to share some of the highlights with you! (p.s. If you’re wondering why my outfits change it’s because we spent 2 days at each of the parks. 😉 )

Gringa Makes a Wedding Cake……Again.
Hey guys! So I haven’t posted anything on a Tuesday in a while now so it’s sort of a nice change. I wanted to just do a short little bonus post this week so I could share the pictures I promised you of the wedding cake I made this past weekend. I had a lot of fun making it and I feel like I gained so much experience for next time. I would do so many things differently for next time, but overall I was pretty happy with how this cake turned out. When I was talking and planning with my friend, Maria José, about what she wanted for her…

Semi-Silent Sundays: Ryder’s First Birthday Minion Party
So it’s been a while (okay, more like forever) since my last Semi-Silent Sunday post. I really like these posts because there’s something extra fun about doing minimal work on words and writing but still getting to share lots of pictures. I’m thinking of bringing them back for that reason. I know I said minimal words but I should at least mention that these pictures are from my favorite (and only) nephew Ryder’s first birthday. It was on Tuesday and we threw him a little family minion party. Liv and I did it together, like an all-star team up, only mommy and auntie style. She made the cake, a chocolate…

Gringa Makes a Wedding Cake: A Chilean Wedding Party
Hey guys, I’m pretty sure I promised at some point last week that I’d share some pics from my weekend! I spent most of my week in some kind of zone planning for the weekend and trying to keep up with some other changes in my usual week. Some of you may remember me mentioning that my friend Paulina asked me to cater her wedding party food. The party wasn’t exactly a reception. It was really more the equivelant of a wedding shower but I still made my first tiered cake that requiered supports and everything. Her colors and decor were simple and rustic with oragami cranes and fresh flowers. Josh…

Gingerbread House 2015! Fairytale Forest Cottage
Hey guys, I finally finished the house! It only took me…..5 days. I mentioned a few days ago that I was going to do it in pieces this year to avoid getting overwhelmed because I like to make everything from scratch. I’m so glad I did it that way this year because it made all the difference in stress levels and let me take the time to make it how I wanted. Everything on my house is edible including the dirt on the ground the entire structure of the house, and even the christmas trees ( Shhhhh, I used ice cream cones, the only exception to my all homemade rule.)…

Living in Chile – Volcán Calbuco Eruption
I had a recipe to post today but it seemed a little insignificant in light of the fact that I was watching a volcanic eruption yesterday and half the night last night. My everyday life may not always be as exciting as food but I think molten lava and volcanic ash is pretty sweet. There were actually two eruptions one started around 6 pm and the second around 1 am. The first one pretty much blew my mind. I mean, I really couldn’t believe it was actually happening. I was all like washing dishes and stuff and look up to see this! How many people get to see this kind…

Living in Chile – Llifen
I’m not feeling very verbose today. Actually, I’m feeling more retrospective. I seem to always talk myself out of posting pictures of things other than my recipes, deciding that it would be boring to you guys. It’s just so much easier to talk about food and recipes than it is to put personal stuff out there, you know what I mean? Today I’m feeling like that’s being unfair though, because when I did a post recently on living here in Chile, I had so many of you tell me how much you enjoyed seeing pictures of where I live and my life. So today I thought I would be a slacker and just share some of…
