If you ask me what my favorite Colombian food is, my answer will always be arepas. I could honestly eat them every single day. They're simple, comforting, and somehow always taste like home. Some of my favorite memories are of watching my grandma make them from scratch. She never measured anything ... she just knew exactly how much water and salt to add. She'd cook them until they were golden on the outside, then serve them warm with butter and cheese. To this day, I don't think anyone has ever made arepas as good as hers. For me, arepas are so much more than food. They're slow weekend breakfasts with my family, conversations around the table, and a reminder that the simplest recipes often become the most meaningful memories.
