Vianney Rodriguez, native of Aransas Pass, Texas, is a recipe developer at Sweet Life regularly contributing to New Latina, Latina Bloggers Connect and Multicultural Familia. Growing up Vianney wanted to be a teacher and fulfilled her dream in the early 90’s. After she had children she decided to stay at home and home school…so I guess you can say she is still teaching!
The Niche Mommy wanted to find out more about Vianney and couldn’t wait to share with our network.
Niche Mommy (NM): What influenced you to start blogging and why?
Vianney Rodriguez (VR): I began my blog as a creative outlet for my love of cooking, to document my family heritage and have a space my children could turn to in the future for family recipes.
