El que imita fracasa- this Spanish phrase means - those who imitate fail.
The most precious memories I have are of my days in the Nicaraguan mountains with my grandparents ..wearing long rubber boots to protect me from the snakes and the muddy jungle . I still have the smell of sweet limes and the sugar cane on my nose and in my heart. I tear up the tomatoes into the rice and eggs just like my grandmother who for years I watched as she stood in front of the adobe fire. The smoke of the wood burning in the green mountains is forever rising in me and I am married to the scent of jungle rain . These memories ..the many baby animals I’ve held since I could touch are endless and so are the dreams- the poetry and colorful expressions that come from within are those of my people - because I am them and they are me . We are the carcajadas and the strength - the sorrow and the alegría. Not one of these can be replicated or imitated - just as the work from my hands ..the way I touch food and the energy that stems from only me. Be authentic - be original - embrace what you yourself have lived.

Amaranth was called huauhtli by our ancestors. It represented a vital nutrient as important as corn and it was also used in spiritual ceremonies. The Spanish colonizers banned it in an attempt to extirpate these spiritual practices. But today , I use the leaves freely and joyfully. In honor of truth and pain, I will grow it and my children will follow .

La Guanábana does not need to speak of its greatness ..or announce all of its accomplishments . It does not need to boast of all the good it’s done ..it’s anti- cancer properties or that its leaves kills parasites. It just is- silent and powerful. Anyone who tastes her will know.

, , , linaza and more . All of these at my local market . Quina comes from the Cinchona tree -it contains quinine to treat malaria and quinidine. It can be used to treat the flu. Cola de Caballo or horse tail is an anti-inflammatory and an antioxidant. Valeriana can be used as a detoxifier. It can improve sleep and digestive disorder amongst many other things.

For hundreds of years we have been told we must buy into their system and we have been conditioned to depreciate our original foods while accepting their toxic fake foods. All we have to do is go back to our origins to see what is right for us. We have all of the answers and all of the cures.

Cooking is similar to life - at times you may feel as though you don’t have much to work with ..you have to make choices , decisions , be creative , inventive , and confident . Once your perspective shifts you see you can make amazing things happen. Today’s breakfast- cinnamon, cardamom and oats pancakes -topped with mango and coconut nectar. For lunch - a flavorful mango , cashew fruit, and ginger drink . A side of garlic sweet potatoes paired with a delightfully nutritious salad made from mango, zucchini, cabbage and sun flower seeds . The dressing - orange juice , lime juice , olive oil and champagne vinegar. All done in 20 minutes and with a ton of love. Life is what you make it .

Do not apologize for being the human that you are . One thing I appreciate immensely about being away from the city is the opportunity to just be. I can remember many moments where I felt I had to “ look put together .” I had to “present “myself with intelligence when speaking in public and in work meetings . After introducing myself to someone , the first thing they wanted to know was “what college did I go to ?“ - sorry not Berkeley . I say to all that now- I don’t fu***ng try to be anymore ..I am what I am . The me from a far ass jungle town in the mountains of Nicaragua ..the one who loves to eat the tail and the head of a fried fish with my hands. I don’t need chairs when I have a dirt floor. I am the one who never wanted the free nose job from Kaiser because I look like my Mayan ancestors and I love the curves of my nose. I’m not trying to be a Rasta, I’m not trying to be cute , or to be a fine ass Instagram model. I don’t need a following behind me because I’m going to walk my path no matter what . Like me or hate me ..I’m not a gold coin anyways. It is a relief and a true moment of glorious freedom to say and to know -I don’t fit into your box and don’t need to .

If there’s no music ..it’s probably not our home . If it tastes good.. he’s dancing .
