Hi I’m Angi

My Story

I’m the face behind The Yellow Cocina where faith, food, family, and a whole lot of yellow come together.

I’m a mama to three sweet girls, wife to my handsome husband, and always reaching for Jesus (and coffee) to get through the day. I’ve been obsessed with the color yellow for as long as I can remember: my engagement ring is yellow, my car is yellow, and honestly, if I could wear yellow every day, I probably would.

I started this blog after years of feeling the nudge. Back in 2020, when I became a mom, I dreamed of starting something creative, but fear held me back. In July 2024, while my husband was away on a trip, I finally found the courage to hit “post” and start sharing my world online.

Here, you’ll find cozy recipes (many from scratch), lots of baking (especially desserts), and a growing library of sourdough love. I have a huge soft spot for cookies and a bigger mission to nourish my family with real, whole food. After reading about seed oils and food dyes (thanks to my health-conscious husband), I started paying attention to labels and realized how much I wanted to do things differently at home. That meant giving up a lot of convenience, but gaining so much peace of mind. I’ll share all the tips!

I’m not a full-on crunchy mom, but I do care deeply about what we put in our bodies. I’m big on protein (ask my friends, they joke I need a “Eat Your Protein” shirt), and I love making meals that feel good and taste even better.

I’m from Bolivia and one day I hope to share all the traditional dishes I grew up eating. Until then, you can usually find me baking while my girls play outside, listening to worship music (probably Phil Wickham), and dreaming of one day living the homesteader life.
