About Me

Hello,

I am Maria Consuelo Lopez, a passionate home cook like you. I love to cook and bake for my family and also host parties and cook for my friends. I see cooking and baking as a way to show affection for my loved ones. Seeing people’s faces when they enjoy eating what I cooked is priceless. That is why I created Dejafood Blog, to share with you what I am cooking pretty much everyday.

Who are the guinea pigs for all my cooking? Mainly my loving husband of 28 years, Eddie, my millenial kids, Daniela and Gus, and the best son-in-law ever, Tyler.

I was very fortunate to have grown up eating and learning from the best cook I have ever met, my grandma Ñaña (sorry mom, you are also a great cook). Everything she cooked was delicious and tasted so good that it left you craving for more. We were next door neighbors for several years and the majority of the days I invited myself to eat at her house at any time!

Believe it or not, even with all that amazing food surrounding me, I was the pickiest eater ever. I didn’t like fruits, salads or vegetables. But of course I loved desserts. So you must be wondering, “why are you now writing a food blog?” To answer that question, I can say that I have changed a lot and I now eat almost everything. The thing I enjoy doing the most now is experimenting with new ingredients, and that is what keeps my love for cooking going.

One particular thing I forgot to tell you about me is that I have a great memory for flavor. I can remember flavors better than faces and that is why I am writing all my recipes right now. Everything I have tasted brings me back so many great memories and that is why I want to share them with you in Dejafood Blog.

Enjoy!
