Welcome to my rinconcito of the internet!
My name is Stephanie
I’m from Southeast Los Angeles, California and I live in a small town in Missouri with my husband and our 3 boys. As a first generation Mexican American, I often felt divided between both my worlds and had a hard time figuring out quien soy. I got to see my mom tener que adaptarse to a country unfamiliar to her. But between her comida y su musica, siempre se sentia that we were right were we were supposed to be. As I got older and had a family of my own I yearned to make that same feeling happen with my family.
On Ni de Aqui Ni de Alla Remembering Familiar Tastes, I share those recipes that takes us back to our mom’s house. Those meals that take you back to when things felt simpler. Tambien te tengo some for real delicious gems that perhaps we’re too shy to try or we are simply unfamiliar with. But don’t you worry, I got you covered on that front. I’ll help you wear your Senora hat like a pro in no time! I’ll also throw some jams to get you to sacudir el tambo to get you in the zone. All this with the aim to keep those traditions alive in our homes and give our families a sense of belonging. So that they don’t feel ni de aqui ni de alla.
