Hi, I’m Lizet — a missionary mom of three boys, born in Bolivia, raised in Paraguay, and now living in Kentucky, USA. I'm married to an American who grew up in Africa, and together, we embrace a joyful and multicultural life centered around family, food, and faith.

Chipa by the Dozen is where I share easy Latin American recipes that are perfect for beginners or anyone who wants to recreate the comforting flavors of home with simple, accessible ingredients.
I started this blog to help people discover and fall in love with the food I grew up with—whether it’s cheesy chipa, sweet breads, or traditional Bolivian dishes like salteñas and sopa de maní. From quick breads and easy desserts to authentic Bolivian meals, you’ll find step-by-step recipes that are tested, family-approved, and perfect for any skill level.
In addition to blogging, I’m proud to be:
- A Latin American recipe contributor at Curious Cuisiniere, where I share cultural insights and regional favorites.
- The Bolivian culinary expert at 196 Flavors, a site dedicated to traditional recipes from around the world.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope my recipes bring a little bit of Latin America to your kitchen, wherever you are.
