Hi there!

My name is Tayde and I am a natural introvert with a a fascination for cafes. As a 9 to 5 girly I often have to get my coffee and lunch at local cafes and I’ve always noticed all the little details about them, I love that each one of them has a different combination of their own elements including their scents, décor, smooth music and last but not least their petite delicious menus. I’ve always been curious about developing recipes but now more than ever it has become a priority to make them with no added sugar :)

So why the no added sugar? Let me tell you a little bit about myself…

Right now I’m in a very beautiful chapter in my life, I am very happy to share that I am a first time mommy! My pregnancy thankfully was wonderful but not without its challenges along the way, one of the most surprising one for me was when I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. For reference along with my obsession for cafes it goes hand in hand with my fascination for desserts. I have the biggest sweet tooth you can ever imagine, for as long as I can remember. Now that I think about it maybe it has something to do with my mom restricting my desserts as a child in an effort to keep me healthy and form good eating habits in me but to be honest that only backfired.

As soon as I could choose what to eat on my own, I turned to sweets of all kinds, thankfully not enough to affect my overall health while growing up or so I thought when I got my diagnosis at the doctors office. Past my initial shock, and obvious fears for mine and my baby’s wellbeing, this was the wakeup call that I truly needed. I reflected on my life and reevaluated my eating habits, and how this would have an effect not only in my future health but my family’s as well.

My first motivation for change is my family’s health and teach them trough my example lifelong healthy eating habits while always striving for balance; and last but not least my second motivation is to inspire you to come into this journey with me while we make our own little versions of home cafes where we decorate for the holidays, make delicious healthy desserts and contemplate life while enjoying our favorite drinks in the morning. I hope you enjoy this adventure as much as I do :)
