Hi, creative foodies in the Hive!Do you like experimenting in the kitchen? I do.This time I wanted to make a few but significant changes to a cheesecake recipe a friend gave me some years ago: I substituted the traditional cream cheese for two types of local fresh cheese and adjusted the rest of the recipe to fit the new formula, fingers crossed. # # The result was amazing, so much better than expected. It was delicious and cost me a lot less money than when I used the original recipe with cream cheese ($1.7 for queso fresco versus $7 for cream cheese, not to mention that I used almost half as much cream). I'm always expecting a mess when I'm trying tricks for the first time, hehe, but everything was fine 😋

Hi, foodies in the Hive!Long time no see! I hope you're having a nice day 😁 I finally made a plant based recipe that I felt like sharing in the community. It's simple, flavorful and useful 👌 And if you ask me, this sauce is a scrumptious dressing for root vegetables and salads. #

Hi, foodies in the Hive!I hope you're having a sweet weekend, and in case it isn't, you might want to sweeten it with a piece of bread filled with homemade jam. It works for me 🙄 I find it particularly satisfying after eating fish, so when I came with the fresh fish from the fishmonger, I knew exactly what I wanted for dessert. # Do you usually have dessert at home? I didn't grow up with this habit. We were six kids at home and I guess it was enough of an effort for my parents to feed us well; besides, treats were an afternoon thing. Now, for maybe twenty years, I feel that I can't give up dessert after lunch. #

Hi, foodies in the Hive!Days are shorter every time I check! Cooking is good way for me to disconnect and relax. Does it work for you, too? My late mother hated cooking--and house chores in general)--, but when she liked a dish and she wasn't in a rush, I could see she put some love into it. I think that if we are careful, we could make cooking a good therapy to de-stress mind and body. Plus it's free and if you do it right, it's also delicious. #

Hey, coffee friends!This week's prompt is about our coffee habits during the summer: Prompt 79. It's a hot Wednesday like every Wednesday in my hometown (Cumana, Venezuela) since 2021 😪 Our summer is eternal, and it's not as romantic as it sounds 🔥🌞🔥 Despite of this, and as crazy as it may sound, we generally drink our coffee hot. Sip and sip and sweat, sip and sweat, a little sea breeze that barely moves our hair scared by the weather, and sip, sip, sweat. Nobody seems to have a problem with that. #

Hi, foodies in the Hive!Hope you're doing great 😁 Do you like cream and fruit cakes? I really do, so I chose to make one of my all-time favorites for my--belated--birthday. #Venezuelan caramel custard instead of cake is my favorite Birthday treat. My husband is in charge of that. I really, really love to have it on my birthday, but I never make it for myself. My husband does 😘 So he made it this year like every 4th of August since we have lived together. This one I did eat on my birthday, but for the a brithday cake, we had to wait until August 13, the last birthday of the birthday season.
