Hello world! Welcome to my blog where I will be posting about different Hispanic foods and snacks, but first let me introduce myself. I am a Freshman attending Texas State University studying Mass Communications in Electronic Media with a Minor in Theatre. My hobbies include dancing, hanging out with family and friends, listening to music, and cooking. I am a proud Latina woman who was born and raised in Mission, Texas. It is a city in South Texas also knows as The Valley. The best thing about growing up in South Texas is the culture it embraces, and the amazing food it has to offer.

I am a huge food lover especially when it comes to Mexican food. In my hometown, there are more Mexican restaurants than fast-food chains. When I was getting ready to leave for college the biggest thing I was going to miss was the food. I was not the greatest cook, but I wanted to learn and perfect my cooking skills. My mother and father are the greatest cooks when it came to making food, so as I got closer to leave I started following her steps on how to cook traditional Mexican dishes. Besides my love for Mexican food, I have a bigger love for Hispanic snacks mainly if they are spicy.

In this blog, I will be giving a glimpse on some of the delicious dishes and snacks the Hispanic culture has to offer. When it comes to snacks, I always add a twist to them. I will be teaching my audience on how to make the unexpected on a simple snack. I want to be able to make my favorite foods enjoyable to those who have never tried them. My goals are to expand the knowledge of Mexican food and teach others how to make foods I enjoyed growing up. I hope to maybe introduce someone to their new favorite food just by following a simple recipe.
