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!
Love the baked chicken recipe with brown sugar, chili powder dry rub! It’s always a hit at our house and my wife raves about it. Thanks for publishing it.
Just tried your 10 minute parmesan white bean soup with spinach. It was amazing!
Hi Richie, that’s great to hear! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe.
Search for slow cooker ribs had you as the first listing. Will let you know how they turn out.
Hey!
I was doing a research project on your website and now I HAVE to try your recipes!
What a smoking hot BABE
Thatโs the best you can come up with? Lots of class there, Porpo.
What a low class remark.
Honestly I use your recipes for almost everything from oven baked chicked to chewy cookies , but it all started with thos fluifiest of pancakes. You are a extrodinary cook and person, who has seemed to overcome a lot. God always test his very best soldiers . Take care and god bless
Hi Dele, your heartfelt message means a lot, and I’m truly touched to hear that you’ve been using my recipes for various dishes. I’m glad the fluffy pancakes served as a great starting point! Your kind words are incredibly moving, and I appreciate your warm wishes. I hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas and New Year!
Hi there! Me and my friends love to watch your videos! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful cooking talents!
Hi Marisol, thank you for the kind words! I’m thrilled to hear that you and your friends enjoy the videos.
Great recipe. I will do add-ins next time. Simple to make. Adding to my quick recipe book.
Hi Karina. I was reading with interest your ‘scampi’ recipe then I realised you don’t use Scampi your using Prawns am I correct , forgive me if I am incorrect . I have added a ‘scampi’ description below. Let me know if your recipe was for prawns and not Langoustines. I absolutely adore scampi particularly Whitby Scampi its the best in UK
Peeled whole Scampi, also known as Dublin Bay Prawns or Langoustines. Many chefs believe that raw Scampi have a better flavour than Prawns.
Keep up your excellent web site
Regards
Mark
