Just a few dishes Iโ€™ve made that have been living rent-free in my camera roll and deserved their moment.

Because when food calls, I answer. ๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿฝ

Which plate are you answering the phone for?

Unfortunately, I wasnโ€™t given the gene that makes you lose your appetite when youโ€™re sad or worried. Quite the contraryโ€”when Iโ€™m feeling a little sad or nostalgic, I want comfort food.

So yesterday, this is what we made. If you follow my Stories, you already know what Iโ€™m talking about. If you donโ€™tโ€ฆ you should probably start. ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜˜

Hereโ€™s my quick version of the ultimate comfort food: La Bandera Dominicana โ€” pollo guisado, arroz blanco y habichuelas guisadas. ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด

If you grew up Dominican, you already knowโ€”a good chimi is more than a burger. Itโ€™s part of our street-food culture, especially those late-night stops at the carrito de chimi. โค๏ธ

So where did it come from? The exact origin isnโ€™t completely documented, but one widely told story traces it back to the 1970s, when Argentine cook Juan Abrales moved to the Dominican Republic and sold choripรกn with chimichurri sauce from a street cart. Over time, Dominicans made it completely our ownโ€”aplatanรกndoloโ€”and โ€œchimichurriโ€ eventually became simply chimi.

And todayโ€™s chimi? Think of it as the Dominican answer to a burger: well-seasoned ground meat cooked on the griddle, grilled onions, tomato and shredded cabbage instead of lettuce, that signature salsa rosada, all loaded into toasted PAN DE AGUA. And yes, the pan de agua mat,ters! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Messy, juicy, saucy, crunchy and packed with flavor. If youโ€™ve never had oneโ€ฆ this is your sign. ๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿฝ

Definitely takes you back to the Motherland ๐Ÿ˜Œ

For a LONG time, Prime 112 held the #1 spot on my personal list for steak and sides. And if you appreciate a properly aged steak, you already know places like Prime 112 and Smith & Wollensky rarely disappoint.

But after last nightโ€ฆ I officially have a new #1. Danielโ€™s Miami or their other location Danielโ€™s, A Florida Steakhouse

From the moment we walked in, the attention to detail was there. The restaurant is intimate without feeling small, lively without being overwhelming, and I absolutely loved the open-kitchen concept. The music, the lighting, the energyโ€”thereโ€™s a vibe, but you can still sit across from someone and actually have a conversation.

And for me, food has always been about ALL the senses. The atmosphere, the aromas, the presentation, the serviceโ€ฆ all of it affects the experience of a meal.

Now THE FOOD. ๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿผ โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ

The steak was exceptional, but can we please talk about those mushrooms?! I genuinely donโ€™t have the words. And the creamed spinach? GOOD LORD. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Every side we tried felt like it received the same attention as the main course, and that says a lot to me.

Danielโ€™s absolutely deserves all the hype.

If youโ€™re looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion, a date night, a first dateโ€”or simply because you want to eat some REALLY good steakโ€”look no further.

Danielโ€™s Steakhouse is the place to go. You can thank you later ๐Ÿ˜‰.

The second I saw Ryan Michael Carter make this, I knew it had to become my last summer recipe.

You all know I love a good steak with a salad, but it was his caption that stopped me: โ€œSteak salad, hold the lettuce.โ€ I thought, what is he talking about? Then I watched him put together this beautiful salad with charred peaches and immediately thoughtโ€”peaches, steakโ€ฆ say less. Iโ€™m making it. ๐Ÿ˜‚

So officially, thank you Ryan Carter ๐Ÿป for sharing this delicious recipe. It inspired me, brought it into my kitchen,and this was the result. ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

It reminded me of one of my favorite messages from Ratatouille: โ€œAnyone can cook.โ€ Not everyone has to create something completely from scratch. Sometimes you see something that inspires you, you make it your own, you experiment, and before you know it, youโ€™ve created something beautiful.

Hereโ€™s to great cooks and chefs everywhereโ€”cooking with wholesome ingredients, a little creativity, and food made with love. โค๏ธ

For the original recipe and all the details, please go follow Ryan Carter ๐Ÿป show him some love, and make sure to give his post a like.

For the chicken, I use boneless, skinless chicken thighs because they stay juicy and donโ€™t dry out. You can absolutely use chicken breast if you prefer.

Lemon Pepper Chicken Marinade

* 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
* 4 tbsp olive oil
* Juice of 1 large lemon
* Zest of 1 lemon
* 3โ€“4 cloves fresh garlic, finely grated
* 1 tbsp Louisaโ€™s adobo
* 1 tsp dried oregano
* 1ยฝ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
* 1 tsp kosher salt

Mix everything together, coat the chicken well, and marinate before grilling.

For the Alfredo, this is what I use:

* 1 quart organic heavy cream
* ยฝ stick Irish salted butter
* Freshly cracked black pepper
* Fresh garlic, finely grated
* Fresh Parmesan, very finely grated

Simple ingredients, lots of flavor, and one of those dishes that is always a hit.

French-style creamy scallion eggs ๐Ÿณ

I use pasteurized eggs, organic creamer, Irish salted butter, freshly cracked black pepper, and thinly sliced scallions.

For 2 servings:
4 eggs
1โ€“2 tbsp organic creamer
1 tbsp Irish salted butter
2 tbsp thinly sliced scallions
Freshly cracked black pepper

Whisk the eggs with the creamer until smooth. Melt the butter in a nonstick pan over low heat, then add the scallions and let them soften for just a few seconds.

Pour in the eggs and cook low and slow, gently stirring and folding as soft curds begin to form.

The technique that makes all the difference: remove the pan from the heat just before the eggs look completely done. Keep stirring and let the residual heat in the pan finish cooking them. Thatโ€™s how you get them creamy and silky without leaving them runny.

Finish with fresh black pepper and a little extra scallion. I served mine over a slice of avocado.

Simple ingredients, low heat, and patience. Thatโ€™s the secret to those soft, creamy French-style eggs. ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท

Happy 4th of July! โค๏ธ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™

Today, as we celebrate the 250th birthday of America, my heart is filled with gratitude.

America, thank you for welcoming this little girl and giving her a life full of opportunities, dreams, and blessings beyond anything I could have imagined. Thank you for allowing me to serve others through my God-given talents and create a life for which I am truly grateful.

Happy Independence Day, America! ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

From my family to yours, I wish you a safe, joyful, and delicious Fourth of July. May your tables be full, your hearts be thankful, and may God continue to bless the United States of America.

My idea of the perfect Meatless Monday ๐Ÿฅฅ๐ŸŸ

Yellowtail snapper in a coconut vegetable sauce served alongside what you all call chickpea riceโ€ฆbut what I call moro de guandule.

Light, flavorful, and the perfect way to start the week.

Enjoy, everybody. I hope this is the beginning of a beautiful week for you.

And to everyone watching this recipeโ€”may God bless you abundantly. ๐Ÿค
