About this Cook
I'm a bit of a Jack-of-all-trades. I am a 25 year old SAHM mom of 2 boys, a homeschooler, I also teach fitness and dance classes, am a professional choreographer and even choreographed a music video for Nokia!! I have also lately been doing a bit of side-catering and I also write a lot. Other hobbies i enjoy are crocheting, reading, danceing, and myspacing!!
My favorite things to cook
Oh- anything that soounds good, or i saw on food network. I don't like baking cookies very much...too boring.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My favorite thing to do is cook dinner while enjoying a glass of wine and good music while my husband entertains the children elsewhere! :)
My cooking triumphs
Spanish rice and homemade tortillas as good as my grandmother makes. It takes time and patience to get these things just right! and the first time i bit into a tortilla I made and it took me back to her kitchen, I was so thrilled- you would have thought I won an award or something!!
My cooking tragedies
Oh yes there have been some of these as well, lets see... my first time baking bread you could have killed someone with it! I was in 8th grade though, so I cut myself a little slack...I tend to be heavey handed with the salt sometimes and there have been times I've ruined things by adding too much.

Authentic Mexican Tortillas
way too much shortening for me...i cut it in half and upped the water amount bnut it was still to greasy. i will try using just 1/4 of the called for amount and more hot water and see what happens.
