While she was growing up, my grandma was the primary caregiver and cook in the family, but my grandpa was also a great cook. He cooked with a flourish and made sure there were vegetables with every meal. He came to New York City at an older age than my grandma, so he was more in tune with the native delicacies of the island. He made elaborate breakfasts at times which included omelets filled with bacalao (salted codfish) and okra. He would make lunches of fritura (fried foods), including bacalaitos (codfish fritters) and chicharrón (fried chicken or pork chunks) with panapan (breadfruit). For dinner, he would make dishes with root vegetables, such as ñame, yaulia, malanga and more. My mom, being the youngest, was connected at the hip to my grandpa, and she watched and learned to cook and appreciate those same dishes while growing up.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThough she grew up with both her parents in the house, I was raised primarily by my mom and maternal family.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMy father, who was African American, was in the home until I was six years old. My dad was from the South, so my diet was made up mostly of Puerto Rican and southern soul food. My mom learned to make the dishes my dad liked, which included smoked neck bones with black-eyed peas, fried catfish with baked mac 'n' cheese and collard greens, and fried chicken with potato salad, just to name a few. We had a diverse menu at home, but the one thing that remained constant was, like my grandpa, my mom made sure we had vegetables at every meal. Times were hard back then; fresh veggies weren't always available and affordable, so even if it meant it was canned corn or frozen green beans, we had a vegetable on our plate every night. Because of that rule, my love of vegetables started early.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnce my parents split, my mom was a single mom of three at the age of twenty-three. She wanted to finish her educa tion lo give us a belter life, so she worked a full eight-hour day, then attended school at night, so we ale our meals at grandma's house where we were cared for by my grandma, grandpa and my mom's brother, To Ramon. To Ramon would cook on most days and, being the inquisitive kid I was, I would go into the kitchen with him to escape my brother and sister's shenanigans. I watched as he made a lot of the same dishes my mom had learned to make from my grandpa, as well as many of his own creations. His soups and slews are Al hence a whole chapter dedicated to them).

There was always salsa music playing (she and To Ramon also taught me and my siblings how to dance salsa, merengue and bachata) and enough food on the table to feed everyone and provide take-home plates for all the guests.

I get it. When I first started my journey nearly seven years ago, I felt lost, hopeless, frustrated and very sad that I had to give up many of my favorite foods. I found myself wallowing in self-pity, wishing I could eat this or that, sneaking foods that I knew would make me feel ill, only to be sent on a downward spiral. There just came a day when I was just so sick of being sick, and I knew I had to take control of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat needed to change first? I needed to change my mind-set. I began researching and learning and practicing in the kitchen. I spent more time reading labels at the grocery store, and I started including more fresh, whole foods in my diet as opposed to processed stuff that comes in boxes. Little by little, I started to crowd out the \"bad\" stuff and replace what I thought were my favorite foods with healthier alternatives that soon became the new foundation of my diet. And when I say \"diet,\" I don't mean the kind you try and seemingly fail at-diets don't work, friends. It's really all about lifestyle changes, both big and small, that enhance our quality of life so that we can be the best versions of ourselves and carry out the tasks that God created us for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSavory foods were pretty easy. I got the hang of that relatively quickly. However, gluten-free, vegan baking is not only challenging at times, but it also might not compare to the way we used to enjoy our desserts. But because going gluten-free and vegan wasn't a \"choice\" for me, rather it was essential for my health, that held me accountable and kept pushing me forward. Today, I can say that I feel confident in my gluten-free, vegan dessert-making, and I find these recipes to be quite delicious and comparable to the \"real\" versions.
