Who or what inspires you to cook?

My culture and family inspire me to cook! As a proud Latina, I honor my Puerto Rican roots while creating healthy, flavorful dishes that bring loved ones together around the table.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

My all-time favorite dish to make is lasagna, but with a Puerto Rican twist! I make it my own by adding sazón and sofrito, flavors deeply inspired by my heritage. It’s my family's favorite dish and the ultimate comfort food that always brings everyone together.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, I’d expand Healthy Rican by creating products for busy professionals, parents, and students, and hosting family cooking workshops. This would spread the word about healthy Latin/Puerto Rican flavors while helping families cook quick, healthy meals without losing sabor. It’s all about bringing sazón to more homes and inspiring others to eat well without sacrificing taste!
