Hola! Welcome to Elvia's Salsa con Coco! I am so excited to finally get this blog started. I have wanted to do this for a long time and I am so happy it's finally happening.
First, I would like to tell you a little about myself. I am a 26 year old Ecuadorian young woman who was born and raised in California and proud of it! I was born in Los Angeles and moved around in Southern California all my life. Currently I live in Boston, MA and let's just say... it's different but I love it. I moved here to continue my second year of service serving in AmeriCorps and decided to stay. Serving in AmeriCorps is where I found my passion for serving others and decided I wanted to continue on that path. I currently work for a non-profit that serves girls and helps them get to their full potential by providing them mentors that will help them get there. Although, I am living out that passion from 9-5 everyday I wanted a way to live out my other passion... FOOD!
Ever since I moved away from home I needed to feed myself somehow. It wasn't an easy transition going from a home where my wonderful mother made homemade delicious meals every single day to having to cook for myself. It definitely took me a while to enjoy it and find out how to make things that I really liked. Now I can say I am pretty adventurous and will try to make anything, especially if I'm craving it. I really love all kinds of food and will try anything at least once. Being able to experience different types of cuisine has made me fall in love with cooking, culture and fresh ingredients. I love looking at different recipes or learning from others and making recipes my own. This is where I will finally show the world what I love to do.
On Elvia's Salsa con Coco, you will learn about food, culture and making some of your favorites into healthy or lighter meal options. Sometimes there will be themes to my cooking and sometimes I won't have a healthy option because it's just that good the way it is. All in all I just want a place to show how much I love food and share it with all of you.
Buen provecho everybody!
