I came out of the womb cooking. Call it my God-given, Latina right (and implied duty), which has earned me a pretty good reputation in the kitchen. But, there are only two culinary accomplishments that I really pride myself on: the first is my collection of recipes taken from all over the world where I have substituted ingredients for healthier options, and the second is my tweaked-to-perfection chunky guacamole. For my prized recipe, forget the chips; take a spoon and dig in!
