Last week I was contacted by Ponte Creativo ¡Cocina! to see if I was interested in participating in a project. They prepared a box full of vegan-friendly products for me to make a recipe that they had already prepared for me. This project was part of “El Día de la Familia a la Mesa”, celebrated on September every year. This initiative is meant to bring families back to dinner tables by La Camara de Mercadeo, Industria y Distribución de Alimentos de Puerto Rico.
Different Content Creators and Foodies, including me, got personalized boxes with a specific recipe to follow. Here are some of the things that I got:
¿My challenge? Crispy Chickpeas. This was the result:
