T's Tasty Bits
http://tstastybits.blogspot.com
My blog focuses on my quest for recreating the meals I ate as a child. I was born and raised in Ecuador, and moved to the US at the age of 18. Throughout my adult life, I've traveled to several countries around the world and have sampled many cuisines, which I also use as inpiration in my everyday cooking.
