    Want a dairy free McGriddle? Replace the milk in the pancake batter with your choice of dairy free milk, replace the butter in the pancake batter with vegetable oil and omit the cheese from the sandwich.

    My name is Cari and I'm the person behind FatgirlHedonist.com. I'm born and raised in Miami (Hialeah if you'd like specifics) and proud Latina. I'm a single mom to a very curious toddler. I completed a culinary program in high school that made my love of food blossom, but my career went in a very different direction. No matter what turns my life has taken, cooking, baking and eating have always been three of my favorite activities. I'm lucky enough that I can have this blog as an outlet for those three passions.
