On My Way
By: Gabriela Yareliz I like my peaceful homebody moments. I will be in my kitchen, chopping away and intrigued by all of my senses. I learn so much in those moments of edible chemistry. Last week, as I stirred a risotto to death, I learned that vegetable stock and vegetable broth are not the sameContinue reading “On My Way”

Relationship Building
[Image from GQ] By: Gabriela Yareliz A note taken from Chrissy Teigen and John Legend: Can we admit that Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are an amazing pair and hilarious couple?

Sunday Girl: October 9, 2016
[From the Dillon-Panther Tumblr] By: Gabriela Yareliz It was one of those lazy Sundays. It was raining since early morning, and it rained throughout the day. Everything was grey, up until the sunset. Then, the sky turned blue and yellow. I ate pumpkin pancakes and potatoes, and then crawled back into bed. I did allContinue reading “Sunday Girl: October 9, 2016”
