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!
Glad I found thisโฆlooking forward to your version of shrimp scampi this evening.
Yay so glad I found you and this community. I am not a cook so looking forward to learning and adding easy healthy meals to my tool kit.
Hi Elizabeth! So happy to have you on board! Enjoy cooking! Xx
Going to try my 1st receipt with you.
Shrimp scampi
This recipe is very close to one I was introduced to as a kid, and enjoy once in a great while ever since. It honestly one of the few things I enjoy that qualifies as actual cooking. The only difference is that the recipe I know has the added ingredient of orange curacao. Can you recommend any chicken recipes that make use of rubs or marinates as opposed to creamy sauces? Thank you.
Hi Richard! Thanks for the message, try my Lemon Garlic Roast Chicken, delicious! I’ve added it as a link to this reply! Enjoy Xx
My girl saw your rib recipe and decided to surprise me with a couple racks. I have been in heaven the past week. Much love!
Love you
Your recipes are always the first place I look for inspiration! You have something for everyone, every occasion and amount of effort. Your recipes are easy to follow and your comments on why you put chocolate in your Wellington sauce are spot on.
Iโve made so many of your recipes over the years and look forward to the newest weekly recipe in my inbox. Thank you for sharing your passion.
Hi Krista, Thank you so much! This means a lot for me. Iโm thrilled that youโve been following along for so long and that the recipes continue to inspire you. So glad to have you as a fan! Xx
