It's New Years Eve and in the Olmos household that means finalizing future trips. Our Aunt Denise and Uncle Don surprised us with a trip to The Pearl Islands; an archipelago off the coast of Panama City. Traveling has always been encouraged in our family and we are fortunate enough to be in a place where it is only a short plane ride away to a completely different terrain and beauty. It hasn't always been easy for us to travel. Often we find ourselves asleep in bus stations or hostels with 15 people to 1 room. However, those are the trips that make for the best memories and dinner table stories!

As some of you may already know from reading our About Me page, us three sisters; Alex, Gabby and VIcky have a sweet spot for Panama. Most of our family lives there and our mother is from there. We have been traveling to Panama since we were little girls. We spent every summer here until our quinceneras and now we come in December for Christmas and for special events such as weddings, birthdays, showers...any excuse really! This year is the first year that we have brought Jiminy Co. products to cook with using our Abuelita and TIa's recipes! We have been adding cricket goodness to almost everything. It pairs well with a lot of the flavors that Panama has to offer and if you've traveled to Central America then you know FLOUR is a major staple here! We've made empanadas, hojaldres, tortillas and churros as well as flan, delicious fruit shakes, arroz con pollo and much more. It has been great to experiment with crickets in Panama with traditional recipes from the family. We've analyzed the taste profile, the outcome, and have gotten a lot feedback! We have a few interviews from some family members and friends that we will show later in our blog!
