7 Kreative foodie Bloggers I love:
1. Masa from Masa Assasin (don't know his name?) he is Cuban Mexican American living in So Cal. His blog features restaurant and eatery reviews, delicious authentic Mexican recipes, a few Cuban recipes (looking forward to more in the future) he is new to the foodie blogosphere so go check out his blog and show him some love :)

2. Karen Brown Letarte from Domestic Muse, blogs about all sorts of food, no boundaries, lots of American food, some fusion, some Cuban, tries everything. Love her retro feel, dialogue, personality and fun give aways.

3. Pilar from "Entre Alacenas y Fogones", Spaniard cooking, some Cuban here and there. Her parents are Cuban of Spanish descent she is Spaniard born this leads to good eats :)

4. Nuria from Spanish Recipes, the name of the blog say's it all, her cooking is Catalan and delicious.

5. Pilar Lechuza from "La Cocina de Lechuza" she doesn't do awards but this is for her anyways, her blog features Spanish cooking from Galicia, Spain, I love her cooking for it's simplicity and freshness she is also in case some didn't know the Queen of Empanadas :D I learned lots from her.

6. UT Man from Overseas Pinoy never really talked to him, never responds to comments, lives somewhere in Singapore, Pinoy abroad? but regardless I can't deny that I love his blog. Very authentic Filipino cooking and I enjoy reading his blog very much. Reminds me of my friend Shantalls mother's cooking.

7. Maangchi from "Cooking Korean Food with Maangchi" I love this lady, her personality, charm, love of food and all. Her blog is very proffesional, forums for her readers, podcasts, even cooking books, she does videos with written recipes below them, very helpful for those looking to recreate delicious Korean food at home, and loves to respond and answer questions from her readers.

7 things about me you may or may not know:
1. I love to cook, I got more into cooking when I lost weight and my Tata (grandmother) moved away it became a way to feel close to her everyday (aside from calling her and visiting her)

2. I did lose 100 lbs. (used to weigh 250 now am about 155), the secret, exercise (lots of cardio), light weights, staying active, eating healthy and balanced mostly low glycemic, the bulk of my diet mostly fruit and vegetables as well as meat, light on the carbs, and everthing in moderation (yes I do indulge in dessert) just plenty of self control.

3. I'm gay, have a boyfriend (Travis I mentioned him on my Basil Seed Drink post), and madly in love (sorry ladies). I was closeted many years, suffered from depression and tormented myself mentally (morals, values, etc. stuff I was brought up with especially religion, etc.) but over time I learned to accept myself and promised to live my life and be happier starting this year and I haven't felt better since though at times my worst enemy comes back which is myself.

4. I am currently a Business major but switching over to Family and Consumer Sciences- Nutrition, Dietitics, and Food Science with a minor in Business Administration Management at California State University Northridge,

5. Unfortunately I live in a small apartment that can get hella hot, fortunately I love living in Southern California and have my own room and a small balcony where I planted some Cachucha Peppers (4 pots), recieved a wonderful Lotus plant as a gift from Travis this weekend.

6. I enjoy the outdoors and nature (camping, hiking, etc.)

7. It sucks that I am a terrible dancer lol. but open to learning more and doing whatever (how embarassing I know having Cuban and Mexican in me I'm suppose to be a godly awesome dancer)
