Hey muchachit@s.
This post was originally supposed to go up last Friday, but I’ve been swamped with work and a bunch of freelance projects that I didn’t have time to sit down and write! Last week was Transgender Awareness Week and I want to take a brief moment to talk about it.
Trans Awareness week is a week for trans individuals, nonconforming identities, and allies to bring attention to issues happening in the community. Often times, they are the first to champion for LBTQ+ rights because they don’t have the appropriate resources and fundamental rights they deserve and I think it is time they received some recognition.
Plus they also have Caitlyn Jenner as their unofficial-official spokesperson for the entire community, and we all know how much of a mess that is. They need all the support they can receive!
I’m really happy to see Planned Parenthood is now making Hormone Therapy even more accessible for those who choose to go that route because it is important for them to be able to be comfortable in their skin.
Adrianna’s coloring cook book, A Cozy Coloring Cook Book is officially out and I was so excited to see her include a recipe for Tres Leches because a) it saves me a bunch of recipe testing time and b) knowing Adrianna, I know this cake is going to be amazing.
She was right, this cake is amazing. It’s so light and spongey, not overly sweet, and the whipped topping is so perfect–and were boozing it up because Sandra Lee is my spirit guide #sorrynotsorry.
I was never much of a fan of Tres Leches growing up because Mexican bakeries always used a really gross artificial frosting and it really turned me off. It just tasted like chemicals and food coloring.
If you get the chance, pick up her book and make some of her cozy recipes and color along! You won’t be disappointed.
