Familia… Even though our first round of Caja Marcela disappeared in 9 minutes, I wanted to share with you the newsletter with the story behind my first box! We are now working hard to bring you something just as beautiful for the next round but please let me properly present the project and its intention. It is with so much excitement that I am writing to you today.…
FAMILIA! So much to say! Don’t even know where to start! How about the cooking class, also known as the very first episode ever of The Marcela and Carina Show! So, in a nutshell, my sister Carina and myself will be teaming up to cook and talk about pretty much anything that comes to mind, cooking related or not! The plan is to bring you the Mexican foods…
You know what can be scary? Cooking Mole from scratch. But fear not! Here is an easy-to-follow recipe and there’s an actual video of it on my instagram. You can absolutely pour this magic over chicken for the traditional way to serve this quintessential sauce. I went plant-based because it gave me an excuse to roast ALL OF THE VEGGIES in my fridge. Either way, this is delicious.…
Hello familia. Happy (late) Mexican Independence Day! I sincerely hope you are holding up well in these continuously weird times. It definitely feels like we’re in this one-thing-after-the-other cycle that kinda never ends. The atmosphere everywhere (social media, out in the streets, in our schools) just seems fear-driven a lot of the time. Right now I’m debating if it was actually a good idea to start out this…

While there is no shortage of materials out there surrounding the current movement for social justice, sometimes the search process itself can become overwhelming. With that in mind, I’ve built this curated list of resources with the intent of helping you and your loved ones navigate some next steps…
Hola Familia! How is everybody? Not gonna lie, we are kind of desperate to be set free so we can get in the car and just drive and not come back for a few days. The babies figured out something was up, finally. They’re not very bothered by it though. Anna wanted to go to the park yesterday and when I said they weren’t open just yet, she…
I would love to open this with WE ARE NOW IN WEEK X of the quarantine but to be fully honest I have no idea how long it’s been. We’re just taking it day by day. Keeping the kids moving and playing and laughing and dancing. Cooking and praying that those on the frontlines are safe and that we soon to return to normal, whatever that may be.…
Familia! I know, it’s been a while but the current times call for connection and as much as I have lovedhaving the last couple years to BE with my 3 babies, now is when I show my gratitude to youguys for always being so supportive and coming along for the ride. Now is when we connect.What we’re all going through collectively is hard to wrap my head around.…
Here we go with the pinches galletas but, here’s the thing; if they didn’t bring me so much joy and you wouldn’t ask soooooo many questions about them they’d be long forgotten. So here we are. Cookies are just that; cookies. But man, it’s brought me so much joy to make them and share them. I talked about this a little bit in our last meditation in Chula…
