The Julia Bellaflores Blake Culinary Blog

Welcome to my culinary world! My name is Julia Bellaflores Blake and I am originally from Puerto Rico. I live in Texas with my husband James and my son Frank. Our youngest son, Jimmy, lives in Colorado. Shout out to JIMMY! One of the many wonderful professional titles that I have been blessed with in this lifetime, is that of chef. A title that came naturally, being born into a big family of great cooks and food enthusiasts. Along with recipes, cooking tips, and culinary projects, I promise to share some of the wonderful family stories from my childhood with siblings Paco, Angie, Biana, Tito, Merchi, Lola, and of course, Mom and Dad. The center of our world is Mom, the Spanish flower that said yes to Dr. Bellaflores' proposal of marriage almost sixty years ago, and so the Bellaflores Tribe came to be. This blog is dedicated to Mom and Dad, Angelita y Frank. Thank you for a great life!
