I love ice cream--and not just in the summer. For some strange reason, I find myself craving ice cream even when it's cold out. Oh, who am I kidding? I love ice cream all year long. I love all the basic flavors, but I'm also a fan of Latin-inspired ice cream flavors.

There is something blissful about the creamy texture of ice cream. Yes, it is food, but it is also an experience. Why not make it even more of an experience by making some of your own? If you've never done it don't be intimidated, it's totally doable. Big plus of making your own is that you can choose all sorts of flavors or flavor combination. The sky or your freezer is pretty much the limit.

Although I am typically a very healthy eater, there are two things that I love to indulge in occasionally: cocktails and dessert. I just love a good margarita and a really nice piece of chocolate cake. And yes, I do mean that they go well together. Why not?! Then, one day, I discovered something even better: Latin cocktail-inspired cupcakes. Each one of these recipes is as unique as the cocktail that it is based on and, personally, I can't wait to try every single one. These delicious desserts are sure to inspire you and make everyone in your family happy. Now, let's eat up! YUM.

Who doesn't love dessert? I know I do! Although I don't have a huge sweet tooth like some of my family, I know that dessert is one of the best indulgences ever. However, since I am a weight loss success story (and plan to stay that way), I have two rules about dessert: always share when you're at a restaurant and, when at home, opt for guilt-free and low calorie desserts. Go ahead and try one of these 5 guilt-free desserts that I guarantee all Latina mamis will love. They're delicious and, best of all, most are low cal, healthy options. Of course, don't overdo it--but the good thing about these is that you don't have to feel guilty if you indulge a little!

Although Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro is officially over, the celebrations continue all across South America until the end of the month. And in celebration of this, well, celebration, we're serving up 5 traditional Brazilian recipes that you simply can't miss!

The truth is that, since Carnaval is a street celebration, you're more likely to find Brazilian street food like espetinho, grilled meat on a skewer, being eaten by anyone who's actually attending the festivities. But since I'm not, I am indulging in some of my favorite Brazilian dishes. I hope you'll dig in! You and your family will definitely NOT be disappointed after trying these delicious recipes.

When it comes to making something special for Valentine's Day, I've always been a fan of having my man cook something and me serve the dessert. However, times are busy and I don't always have an hour to make an elaborate, drool-worthy something sweet. But that doesn't mean that I want to skimp out on something delicious, either!

That's how I came across these 5 super easy and (most importantly) delicious Latin desserts. They're all perfect to serve on Valentine's Day and each one will have you (and him!) licking your lips with anticipation. Plus, the best part is that you can spend less time in the kitchen and more time cuddling with your honey! And isn't that what we all REALLY want on VDay?
