    A few years ago, I worked as a barista at Starbucks. Learning to make all of my favorite drinks and being able to replicate them at home was one of my favorite parts of the job. This drink is so easy to make and a lot cheaper than the $6 it costs at the store.

    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.
