Sleep deprivation is really tough. So tough, but worth every lost second of sleep when I see our beautiful Gabriel smile and grow by the minute. If you believe that a baby sleeping a long 6-hour stretch at night qualifies as “sleeping through the night”,

Sundays rhyme with pancakes. Okay, not really, but you get what I mean; there’s nothing like the smell of homemade pancakes filling up your kitchen on a Sunday morning. Although I have to admit that it’s hard to beat Aunt Jemima’s Original Pancake Mix, homemade pancake

Growing up as a kid, not a morning would go by without my mom cooking pancakes for us to have for breakfast. My sister and I could sense that it was time to wake up when we could hear noise coming from the kitchen. No matter the hour, my mom was already up and ready to make us our favorite breakfast! We would come down to the kitchen hungry — I’d be talkative and super awake, as I always am in the morning, while my sister, still half-asleep, would eat her breakfast in silence — and we’d drench our animal-shaped pancakes in Aunt Jemima maple syrup. Those were the good old days where calories didn’t matter! Fast forward to years later and pancakes are still one of my favorite meals for breakfast, but now that I’m all grown up and can’t stuff my face with food like a 10-year-old, I have learned to indulge in my dearest dishes in healthier ways.

I’m writing to you today from the heavenly beach of Punta Cana, with the sand blasting on my skin as I type. We’ve lucked out with the weather so far — besides one full day of rain which I spent editing photos for this post — which explains the slowdown on posts shared lately (sorry my dears!). Those following me on Instagram know that I’ve been here for over a week already, enjoying the beach and the sun while sipping on coconut water and eating lots of delicious produce. Punta Cana has some of the best mangoes I’ve ever tasted, as well as loads of pineapples, guavas and papayas. Despite all the delicious fruits available here, no strawberries, raspberries and blueberries are to be found; unfortunately for me, as they’ve become part of my daily diet back home. Although I’ve been having my fair dose of mangoes and pineapples, I have to admit that I miss my morning berry oatmeal breakfast…and keep dreaming of this big batch of summer berry crumble that I prepared for dessert one night before we flew off to the Caribbean.

A couple of weeks ago, we were invited for a delicious brunch over at my friend Genevieve, the food blogger behind The Fit Mrs. I was so excited to taste some of Genevieve’s delicious healthy cooking, which includes fresh fruits and vegetables and lots of nutritious dishes.
