Since I was a little kid I've loved to cook. As a teenager I worked in a kitchen and did catering, allowing more exposure to different techniques and foods. In my free time I'm in the kitchen cooking my favorites and trying new recipes. Banana bread, anything for breakfast, enchiladas, and other Mexican food, BBQing. Unfortunately I don't have any family cooking traditions however I plan to begin some when I have children. I finally learned how to how to fry! Marinated vegetables. That one didn't work so well.
