A new week calls for a new recipe, and this one is extra special as it is close to my heart & upbringing. As I write this, I can still replay the memories of my mom making us arepas before school and on the weekends as a kid. Now that I am a mother, I have created the same tradition (with a healthier twist) for my daughter to connect to her culture in a fun & yummy way. This arepa recipe is gluten-free & Shiva's favorite part about it is rotating all the fun & tasty toppings as we decorate them together. Her favorite arepa has a little bit of vegan cheese sprinkled on top & a dose of love from mommy.
Try it out & let us know what delicious variation you create by tagging us on IG @delaheart.
With all the love,
