Hi there my friend!

I'm Yessi, a joyful wife, homeschooling mom, educator, and blogger living a joyful gluten-free life. I share videos featuring authentic and simple Puerto Rican recipes, gluten free recipes, family life experiences, our homeschooling journey, and some reviews. My goal is to bring some encouragement, inspiration and motivation to your day, and also share some of my joy with you 🤗

I will post videos every other Monday @ 6 pm 🙂 but sometimes I will post more videos or shorts.

I couldn’t wait to share this one with you! These gluten-free pumpkin muffins came out so soft, moist, and full of cozy fall flavor. The cream cheese topping just takes them over the top! 😋
This is one of those recipes that disappears the same day I bake it!  This is perfect for a nice Thanksgiving breakfast.
Watch how easy they are to make ➡️ https://youtu.be/1zryGm8z174
Tell me, are you team pumpkin spice or apple cinnamon this fall?
