I started doing DIY cleaning videos on Instagram + Pinterest. I had no idea how popular they would be! So far, I have: How to Clean a Burned Pot, DIY Oven Cleaner, and the DIY Orange Cleaner

I have gotten requests like, “how do I clean a cookie sheet”? Let me know if you have any requests for cleaning recipes send me a DM on Instagram at @chefcarlacontreras

Sweetpotato Vegan Date Dulce De Leche with Chia Pudding For National Sweetpotato Month 
Sweetpotato Vegan Date Dulce De Leche with Chia Pudding For National Sweetpotato Month 

I am excited to share my Vegan Date Dulce De Leche with Chia Pudding in partnership with North Carolina Sweetpotatoes for National Sweetpotato Month. 

This vegan dulce de has a deep caramel flavor from the dates, earthiness from sweetpotatoes, and a bit of spiciness from the ginger and cinnamon. Traditional dulce de leche is made by simmering a can of sweetened condensed milk on the stove for hours like my mom did when I was a little girl. Making dulce de leche with dates and sweetpotatoes takes hours out of the process and is vegan, refined sugar, and dairy-free. Use the vegan date dulce de leche to top your chia pudding, dip your fresh fruit, or eat it by the spoonful with the fridge door open.

Movie Night: Cinnamon Butter Popcorn with Dulce de Leche
Movie Night: Cinnamon Butter Popcorn with Dulce de Leche

Save this recipe for your next movie night! The cinnamon flavor comes from infusing Canelita Tea, which is a rich tea made with a blend of rose hips, cinnamon, and black tea in butter or coconut oil. You can also do this with a 1/4 tsp. of cinnamon instead of the tea. Notes: Squeezing the tea bags makes sure you get every drop of flavor and butter out of them. This popcorn is best eaten right away. You can also mix the butter and dulce de leche (caramel sauce works too) in individual bowls.

Feliz Latinè Heritage Month! It’s celebrated September 15th through October 15th. I am a proud Latinè, my father is from Chile. I am excited to share my heritage through a paid partnership with Pinterest this month. One of the deepest ways I’ve connected with my Latinè heritage is by drinking ceremonial cacao daily. It’s a plant medicine that has been drunk for thousands of years by the Olmecs, the Mayans, the Toltecs, the Aztecs, the Incas, and other cultures. It’s known as a heart opener and it’s cracked mine wide open to opportunities and the potential of my life.
