Pitbull + Pancakes = Ricotta

Nov 25, 2024

Pitbull + Pancakes = Ricotta

Thanks to Ripple Street, I got to experiment with Ricotta and make a breakfast classic.

"She was everything and she was nothing, which made her the perfect amount of something"- Calvin

Cooked up a dish made in the book, "You shouldn't have come here" by Jeneva Rose- beans, bacon and hotdogs! A little comfort food with a dark twist, just like the ending.

And just like Grace, I was conflicted over this concoction, but it's actually not that bad.

Speaking of that ending- let's talk about it- what did you think? Didn't see it coming and felt super rushed, but still a wild ride and page turner.

Shout-out to Diana for introducing me to this book and asking me to make some pastries and empanadas for their book club.

With Ibotta- I was able to buy my family of four, airline tickets @spiritairlines and our hotel stay in New York.

It's a no brainer- when you use the Ibotta app, you get Cash Back for your purchases, all you have to do is submit your receipt.

For about a year prior to our trip, I was using @ibotta hardcore- referring friends and family, completing bonuses and challenges and buying everyday essentials like milk, egg and bread.

This year, I'm going to save up for my birthday next year and go somewhere for my big 4-0 🎂

The link in my bio has the link so that you can sign up to Ibotta and start getting cash back and planning your next trip. Plus, for any new members, you get a $5.00 bonus for signing up.

Love my two funny Valentine's 💕
Not that I need a day, but I love any reason to show my children that they are loved.

Living in Rural Huntsville, I appreciate that we have @dollargeneral in almost every corner, so that I could wake up early and get my children just a couple things they enjoy.

Time to wake up Denali 🍞
Denali is a sourdough starter that is over 100 years old and made it's way from Alaska to Hazel Green, Alabama.

Some time last year, @fiveoaksfarmal showed up in my "for you feed", around the time that I was looking to make sourdough bread. They were hosting a giveaway, and one lucky winner would get a $40 credit to use at their gift shop, if they can help name their sourdough starter.

Although, I didn't give them the name Denali, I sent them a bunch of ideas paying homage to where they are from, when I said mountains like Kodiak, they went with Denali.

With the credit I bought Denali, a sourdough bread bag and a banneton cover. I love that everything was made by hand.

Five Oaks Farm is a family-run farm located in Hazel Green, Alabama. They are sitting on 17 acres and together they grow seasonal products, make sourdough bread and handmake sourdough bread bags and banneton covers, like the ones I bought.

It's about time I wake up Denali, so stick around for the process.

It's nice to get away!

This past December, we went on our first friends road trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

We got to ride go-karts and play in the arcades at Pigeon Forge while enjoying funnel cakes and nachos.

At night, we ate at Big Daddies Pizzeria and enjoyed pizza, chicken wings and salad- super yummy and highly recommended!

After dinner we strolled the streets of Gatlinburg when I came across @crockettsbreakfastcamp and got super excited because I'd seen so many posts about this place because of their cinnamon rolls and pancakes.

Then the kids collected rocks along the river and we called it a night at our hotel Econo Lodge Riverside.

The next morning, I walked to Crockett's Breakfast Camp and because of their 1 hour 45 minutes wait, I ordered takeout instead.

Their cinnamon rolls are massive and their pancakes towered. We all shared from breakfast, and before we left the hotel, I made some cafecito that I promised to train conductor, Ron, over at @obermountain

We made a pitstop at Pigeon Forge to watch some Live Bears at the @threebearsgeneral 🐻🐻

Loved the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area. Definitely need to save up and plan for a trip like this because there is SOOO much to do.

What are some of your highly recommended places of things to do and places to eat in that area?

When do you stop wishing everyone a Happy New Year? For me, I stop after the first week of January.

This year, we welcomed 2025 by eating 12 grapes, drinking cider, and walking outside with luggage. Then, on the 1st, a friend came over and we cooked black eyed peas.

It's a wrap 🎁

This weekend, we had a @nabiscosnacks Holiday Wrapping Party, thanks to @ripplestreetfun and @dollargeneral

We used the Ritz/Oreo beanies to blindfold the group and see who can Christmas wrap toilet paper the fastest- the winner got a Dollar General gift card

Then we did the Oreo contest to see who can get an Oreo from their forehead to their mouth, the fastest- the winner @yanely_allen got bragging rights 🏆

Lastly, we ended the night by writing Christmas cards, none of us know who got whose cards, but we added them to our Ritz themed gift bags, along with Nabisco treats and recipes as well as the iconic @thereallittledebbie Christmas trees and comfy Sour Patch socks.

Thank you Ripple Street for this opportunity- we had fun hanging out, playing games, listening to music, all while snacking on Nabisco goodies.

Sambumbia= my grandfather's Cuban porridge recipe

Growing up in Miami, I thought everybody ate Sambumbia. Turns out Sambumbia isn't a word my grandfather invented, Sambumbia just means that it's a mixture of things and this mixture apparently is like a Cuban porridge.

In my grandfather's recipe, you start off by making cafe con leche, then you add crushed corn flakes, crushed Ritz crackers and then at the very end, you add cream cheese- sOOoOo good 🤤

Back home, we would call this a midnight snack and make it whenever the family got together. So now during the holidays, when I get homesick or feel nostalgic, I make Sambumbia and think of them.

If you have a texture thing with food, you may not like it. But if you aren't picky, and you don't mind trying something new- make it and let me know what you think.

Recipe will be posted soon on the blog - stay tuned!

Did you know Veterans Day was originally called Armistice Day, marking the end of World War I?

Then in 1954, the United States changed it to "All Veterans Day" which was then shortened to Veterans Day.

Today we honor America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.

These @belgioiosocheese Ricotta pancakes are whey better- according to my 11 year old son.

In fact, he said "Ma, whatever you did differently, do it again"

When I was looking for recipes, using Ricotta, for the @ripplestreetfun party, I came across @onceuponachef pancake recipe and decided to give it a try.

They were fluffy, slightly creamy but most importantly delicious. I shared the recipe in my bio and will blog about it shortly. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour, this recipe will make about 9 pancakes.

POV: when you have to hide the fact that you took one kid out to eat and not the other one...because @texasroadhouse sent me a FREE appetizer coupon (with purchase of an entree) via email and because we didn't want to share the rolls 😂 talk about #bigback

All jokes aside, it's nice to take out each child individually, to spend that one on one time with them.

As our FREE appetizer, we were so excited to try the boneless wings, which were super delicious, mild and juicy. The buns of course are always a favorite and is probably one of the main reasons we go to Texas Roadhouse.

Then for our meal, we split a half rack of ribs, loaded mash potatoes and buttery corn.

We were soooo full and happy!

Just posted my first blog, entitled:
"You can take the girl out of Miami, but you can't take the Miami out of the girl."

In it, I answer the ever probing question, "Why did you leave Miami for Huntsville?" and share what our experience has been like, since our move, six years ago.

I also encourage you to share what your experience has been like moving here, or even for the locals in how the influx of people to Huntsville has affected you.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a Miami girl through and through, but I have embraced the y'all while sharing the ¡Dale!

Went from being called Karlene in Miami to being called Mrs. Karlene in Alabama.

Hoping to help others by sharing what I love.
