About Me

Hello there—I’m Evelyn Marcella Rivera. I’ve spent over three decades exploring the magic of food, and every dish I create is a love letter to the art of cooking. At 48, my culinary journey has been as rich and varied as the spices in my pantry. I began in my family’s bustling kitchen, where every meal was a celebration of tradition and togetherness, and over the years, I’ve refined those cherished recipes while daring to experiment with global flavors and innovative techniques. Cooking, for me, is about more than just nourishment—it’s about telling a story. Every ingredient holds a memory, and every dish is an opportunity to share a piece of my heart. Through my blog, Blessedish.com, I invite you to join me on this flavorful adventure. Here, you’ll find recipes that blend time-honored classics with contemporary twists, dishes that bring comfort on chilly evenings, and meals that inspire celebration. I believe that food has the power to connect us, spark creativity, and heal the soul. So, whether you’re a seasoned home cook or just beginning to explore the kitchen, I’m thrilled to share my passion, tips, and stories with you. Let’s create something delicious together—one blessed dish at a time.
