Well, here I am trying to write in English. Not a problem for a lot people, but a little difficult for me. Some days I think I should give up and just write in Spanish, but that means giving up my dream of teaching the world about my culture.
My friend Gillian would tell me all the time that I should write a blog about Colombia, and I always said “yes, maybe one day”, but I never did. Until one day when my husband came to me, after starting his own blog, and said, “let’s buy your domain now, come and sit down with me”. And so I began. Now I can only thank them for pushing me to do it because I’m having a lot of fun. I love everything about it, the cooking, taking pictures and making new friends.
This is a simple and delicious bean dip. Enjoy!

got several of your recipes off pinterest and have made this bean dip several times and finally decided to tell you how good it is. I'm in TX on the gulf coast and we love it.

I'm really enjoying your recipes, I love learning about Colombian culture, and your English is great. I married into a Puerto Rican family and I live in Texas, so I've been trying to learn some Spanish. Let's just say my bilingual attempts don't hold a candle to yours. There's no way I could write my blog in Spanish.

I'm glad you did start this blog. I started studying Spanish almost 20 years ago, and I'm so happy to have found a food blog like yours to use as inspiration for cooking. And this bean dip has some of my favorite flavors in it!
