About this Cook
I'm an Army wife and mother of one, soon to be two! Majoring in Sociology and Anthropology, with interests in Psychology and the Fine Arts. I'm Filipino/Caucasian, a former military brat, and former member of the US Army.
My favorite things to cook
Asian food (especially Filipino) and Southern food. I love to cook Italian and Mexican for my friends, try new cookie recipes, and absolutely adore making bread by hand.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Banana bread!
My cooking triumphs
If it's not burned and smells/tastes great then it's a triumph! Double points if I can get my wee one to eat it.
My cooking tragedies
Oh, there have been many of those... Luckily it hasn't been when I've had guests to cook for or during the holidays!

Chewy Coconut Cookies
Seriously, these are some of the best cookies I have ever had - the perfect balance between sweetness and buttery flavor, crispy edges and chewy centers. They are also ridiculously easy to make. They look beautiful and are perfectly round with minimal effort. I brought them to a party and they were a huge hit. Will make these again and again!

Spicy Chicken Enchiladas
I modified the recipe using the following, which is what I had on hand. These are definitely "Americanized", but that does not immediately equal bad. * 1 package Rice-A-Roni Spanish Rice, cook as directed (ingredients listed below) * 14.5oz can diced tomatoes with green chilies (I used Del Monte diced tomatoes with zesty mild green chilies) * 2 cups water * 1 tablespoon vegetable oil ---- * 1 pound ground turkey * 1 small chopped onion * 1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic * 1 fresh jalapeno pepper, chopped * 10oz can enchilada sauce (I used Old El Paso green chile enchilada sauce) * 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese * 12 flour tortillas Overall this recipe is good for what it is.

Vintage Lemonade
I reduced the sugar a bit in mine... I like my lemonade *very* tart. Delicious! This is a very simple recipe and very easy to customize as well. Try using lemons and limes, makes a great summer combination!
