About this Cook
My husband and I have been married for nearly a year and a half. No kids...yet. We both LOVE to cook! (it's hard to lose weight around our house...)
My favorite things to cook
Just about anything. I like making desserts and trying new recipes ALOT.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My husband is hispanic...he makes REALLY good mexican food, which works out well because mexican food has been my absolute favorite since I was very little. I make the tortillas and desserts, but he's the one who makes INCREDIBLE rice and beans. We've made chimichangas, enchiladas, flautas...we have yet to attempt tamales.
My cooking triumphs
Cream-Filled Bismarks with chocolate frosting and sprinkles. YUMMY! I made cream-Filled cupcakes with chocolate ganache--those were amazing. My latest triumph was over Christmas...I made chocolates filled with various flavored cream-centers (I'm beginning to see a cream-filled pattern here). OH! Bread bowls for soups...that was one of the greatest things ever!
My cooking tragedies
When I was ten, I forgot the baking soda in a cake I made my dad. It came out flat as a pancake. I cried for an hour. My dad ate a piece out of pity...poor guy. Other than that there haven't been any MAJOR fiascos...I am a pretty messy cook, though...

Strawberry Muffins
These were really good. I followed the advice of other reviewers and added a little brown sugar, vanilla and then some nutmeg. They were super moist and VERY good!

Mom's Good Cinnamon Rolls
This was by far the BEST cinnamon roll recipe ever! I made these for breakfast on Christmas...they were a big hit and were gone quickly! Thank you! I used a cream cheese frosting for them...they were HEAVENLY!

The Old Boy's Strawberry Pie
This is AMAZING! My mom doesn't like strawberry pie, but when she heard that it was a BAKED pie, she flipped! It's a family favorite now and my husband requests it often! It's relatively easy to make and tastes SO GOOD!
