I think the question should be, how do you ONLY charge $6 for an empanadilla?

Let's be honest, life is tough. So if you budget me into your expenses, I am truly honored. But if you can't, I get it!

I legitimately hate charging people for food because cooking for you is my love language. Could I take the easier route and cut corners, like perhaps use premade dough? Sure, but that's not who I am. I've had friends make comments like, "Do you ever just cook a normal easy dinner or Why don't you ever make it easier on yourself and just buy x,y,z?" Because that's not who I am. And it's not always about making things "easier" (most of the time, it looks way more difficult and involved than it actually is) I enjoy the process from start to finish. I've always cringed when people say love is the secret ingredient, ok I still cringe, but it's true! Cooking for someone is an act of love. 🫶🏻

I wish I could just hand out food to everyone, but remember, life is tough. I too have a family. So if you can't work me into your budget, it's ok! Support comes in many ways and many of those ways are free.

Dinner is served! Shall we get up close and personal with our meal before we dig in?
Remember, orders must be in by Thursday (10/1) for Sunday (10/4) evening pickup!
¡Buen Provecho!

CHICKEN EMPANADILLAS! 🥟
No frozen Goya discos here. Our dough is scratch-made with just a few basic ingredients including our homemade achiote oil that gives it that beautiful color. They're also a whole lot BIGGER than store bought, our empanadillas are large and in charge. They are PACKED with a filling of tender juicy chicken, potatoes and cheese marinated with Sarita's sofrito, sazón and adobo. All orders also include mayoketchup for dipping.

Habichuelas Guisado & White Rice 🫘🍚
Would it really be a complete meal without some kind of rice and bean situation?
Habichuelas rosadas, or pink beans, are stewed with the classic aromatics that you'll find throughout Puerto Rican dishes. The calabaza, or pumpkin, is in my opinion the perfect addition to this hearty bowl. And don't forget to BYOA 🥑

Maduros or Tostones 🍌
Which will you choose? Whether you go the crispy, salty route of the tostone or the sweet, caramelized route of the maduro, you won't choose wrong. If you order the tostones, try them with mayoketchup!

Happy Monday!

Thank you to everyone who supported my little business this past weekend. As you can see, there wasn't much product left, which is always a great thing especially for a food vendor.

The time is almost here for our first Sunday Dinner. The menu will be dropping later in the week. I'll be starting with a simple, classic dish that I think is perfect to kickstart this new phase. What do you think it'll be? Or what are you hoping to see in the future? Let me know below 👇🏼

Are youse 😉 ready for the next BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!

🍴SOMETHING NEW IS COOKING…🍴

Thanks to recent changes to Tennessee’s cottage food laws, I’m now able to offer certain time- and temperature-controlled foods from my home kitchen. And that means I’m finally able to expand beyond baking and getting to share another part of what inspires me in the kitchen: cooking food centered around my Nuyorican roots, the food I grew up loving.❤️

Introducing…

SUNDAY DINNER 🍽️

I’ll be offering a limited Sunday Dinner menu featuring comforting, homemade dishes inspired by my Latin heritage, family traditions, and a whole lot of love.

For now, there are some limitations to what I can offer — poultry is permitted, but red meat (including pork) and seafood are not. I know you must be thinking, "Latin food without pork, how??" But I’m excited to see just how creative we can get within those boundaries!

And who knows where this will lead… 👀

If Sunday Dinner takes off, my goal is to eventually move into a commercial kitchen, opening the door to a much bigger menu and even more of the dishes I’ve been dreaming about making for you.

This is more than just an expansion.

It’s a new chapter.

THIS is Sarita’s Kitchen. ❤️

From my kitchen → to your table.

Sunday Dinner is coming soon! ✨

¡Buen Provecho!

It's not often that I make pies or tarts, which is why I've never owned pie weights. There are just certain kitchen tools I cannot justify buying (looking at you, garlic press, and yes, I'm side-eyeing those who own one). So, when it's time to blind bake, I reach for my trusty dried beans! They are perfect for the job and only a few bucks to boot.

Thank you all for the love on the announcement of Sarita's Kitchen
Part 2 of the big news will drop in the coming weeks and you're not going to want to miss it! There may even be a Giveaway included 😉
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So for now, let's get back to our regular scheduled programming!
Breakfast Treats this month include:
🥕 Carrot Cake Muffins: classic spiced carrot cake flavor, sweet tangy cream cheese filling and a pecan crumble
🧄Roasted Garlic and Herb Scones: garlic roasted to caramelized perfection, rosemary, basil and oregano bring our buttery scone to a whole new level

✨ A NEW CHAPTER IS BEGINNING… ✨

Some things begin as little dreams.

A Fairy Tale Kitchen was one of mine.

I started A Fairy Tale Kitchen when I was just a teenager, back when I was first discovering my love for baking. What began as a young girl experimenting in the kitchen and dreaming about what baking could become has grown into something I could have never imagined back then.

Over the years, A Fairy Tale Kitchen has grown, changed, and evolved right alongside me. I’ve learned, experimented, created, and even at times, failed. But most importantly, I continued to fall in love with feeding people and sharing something I created.

And now, after all these years, it’s time for another change. ❤️

A Fairy Tale Kitchen is becoming…

✨ SARITA’S KITCHEN ✨

This isn’t goodbye to everything A Fairy Tale Kitchen has been. It’s a celebration of where it brought me.

The new name represents a more personal chapter — one that reflects who I am, where I come from, and the kind of food and experiences I want to share with you moving forward.

There is so much more to this story than just a new name and a new logo.

Something bigger has been in the works. 👀

I can’t share all of it just yet… but I promise, you’re going to want to stick around.

So here's to the little teenage baker who started this journey, to everything A Fairy Tale Kitchen has become, and to everything Sarita’s Kitchen is about to be.

Same heart. New name. New chapter. ❤️

Welcome to Sarita’s Kitchen. 🍽️
¡Buen provecho! ✨
