Its hard to believe I have a third cookbookit feels like yesterday I was dreaming of writing my first! I am filled with so much gratitude that I get to do what I love every single day! A heartfelt thank-you to all of you who made it possible.

So first and foremost, a massive thank-you to every single person who has been part of the Skinnytaste family, especially to my dedicated fanswithout you this would not be possible.

To my mom, its been a rough year losing my dad. Youre one of the strongest women I know! Thank you to both you and Dad for together sharing your passion and love of cooking with me and my brother, Ivan, and getting us involved in the kitchen at a very young age. I find comfort in cooking the dishes Dad used to make, and those memories will last a lifetime. To Ivan, you are always my rock, and I am beyond grateful to have you in my life. To my husband, Tommy, for being my biggest cheerleader, best food critic, and for always inspiring so many new winning recipe ideas. And to my children: Karina, thank you for keeping me updated on the latest food trends; and Madison, I love that youre turning into a little foodie yourself!

A big thank-you once again to Heather K. Jones, R.D. Working with you on this third cookbook, it is starting to feel almost effortless! And to her team: Danielle Hazard, whose culinary background makes her extra special at noticing all the little details, and Donna Fennessy, for polishing all my words.

To my recipe tester and right-hand woman, aka Aunt Ligia Caldas, thank you for keeping me organized and making sure I eat my fruit every morningI would be lost without you! And to my uncle Rene and cousins Nina and Camila, for the final thumbs-up on my creations.
