Hey, I’m Karina!
Food and I have had a long love story. For years I chased the “how to get skinny” dream and got lost in crash diets. But now I’ve found balance and a happy relationship with food. Here you’ll find everything from low carb recipes that make you feel good to indulgent desserts for your next cheat day. Plus, plenty of easy dinners that take the stress out of cooking.
My Relationship with Food
Food is meant to be enjoyed. Some nights it’s a crisp salad, other nights it’s a gooey cookie. In between, I love sharing quick weeknight dinners and easy family meals that prove cooking isn’t just about eating, it’s about gathering, laughing, and making memories with the people you love.
Life as a Cancer Survivor
I’m a cancer survivor, and that journey (read more about my cancer journey here) lit a new fire in me to celebrate life with gratitude, comfort, and plenty of good food. Every recipe is about gratitude, comfort, and connection. Life is too short not to enjoy good food.
From Diary to Weekly Meal Ideas
What began in 2014 as an Instagram food diary has grown into a community of millions. Now Cafe Delites is where you’ll find weekly meal ideas, family favorites, and inspiration for every craving.
Let’s Cook Together
Cooking should be fun, simple, and maybe even a little sexy. I share low carb recipes when you want to feel light, easy family meals when you need everyone at the table, and something wickedly delicious for your next cheat day.
Welcome to my blog!
Viewed several of your recipes so far! My favorite by far, is your fudgy brownie recipe! Which I amped up slightly, but oh so good! I removed 1/4 cup of the cocoa powder and added an equal amount of espresso powder. Rich and decadent let me tell you! I also make a gluten-free version of the same for some friends and they crave these things! Of course, I have to oblige them! I have the jambalaya on the stove at this very moment. Stay tuned!
Hey, Karina! I would love to learn more about the healthy types of food you enjoy making as well as other fun foods!! I’m a cancer survivor and I’m always looking for a combination of different things that are fun to make and that are healthy as well. If you happen to have a cookbook, or various recipes on here that you would like to share, I’m definitely interested! This is so fun because food is a journey! It’s an adventure that should be enjoyed because life is too short!
