Hey, I’m Karina!
Food and I have had a long love story. For years I chased the โhow to get skinnyโ dream and got lost in crash diets. But now Iโve found balance and a happy relationship with food. Here youโll 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 itโs a crisp salad, other nights itโs a gooey cookie. In between, I love sharing quick weeknight dinners and easy family meals that prove cooking isnโt just about eating, itโs about gathering, laughing, and making memories with the people you love.
Life as a Cancer Survivor
Iโm 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 youโll 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!
I just made your scallop recipe and it was really good and quick! Is your book a cookbook? I plan to try more of your recipes and I appreciate the ability to print them out:-)
Thank You!
Hi Karina,
Thank you for your wonderful website and the many spendid recipes. Your struggle and triumph against cancer is an inspiration for us all. My wife is also a cancer survivor, so this lands very close to home for me. Keep up the good work and the good fight! Every day is a good day, right? Again, thank you!
With kindest regards,
Jorge
I have tried one of your recipe today and it was perfect! My family loved it. If this was a cooking competition, I got a high mark. Thank you for sharing your super delicious recipe. You are one strong, brave and courageous person and I hope you continue to do so.
Hi karina,

Oops…the recipe was the creamy bacon lobster tails.
Served it over tagliatelle, soooo good.
This recipe is awesome! Made it exactly as written…rare for me.
BTW, are you on the Weight Watchers commercial that features a woman making pizza with her kids? If not, you strongly her.
Hi Karina, thank you for your blog and for your wonderful recipes. It is very refreshing to find a blog that is truly about the food. Even your videos go in that direction: you concentrate in showing the steps to make the recipe, instead of you being the center stage nor your kitchen. The videos are made very professionally, with no distracting voice nor any other distracting images, but it is all about the food! Please keep up this format in your blog and in your videos.
Hi Katrina,
Just letting you know I*m trying your slow cooker Baby Back Ribs.

I tried your OVEN BAKED CHICKEN AND RICE… had guests coming over and nothing prepared. This was a quick and easy one pot meal that threw my guests into raptures. Made me look like a superb cook, when all I did was follow your recipe. Thank you.
Thank you for this receipe, and your others as well.
