Natalia Carter One of my favorite snacks while I was in college were Colombian almojábanas, delicious bread made with cheese that, when made well, are heaven. They are generally served with a hot or cold drink like sodas, hot chocolate or coffee. Preparing them is an easy process and they continue to be one of my go-to options when it comes time to make Colombian food.
