I'm a full-time student, pursuing my ultimate career goal as a Registered Nurse. I've always loved cooking for as long as I remember. My dad is an excellent cook; one of the biggest influences on why I love being in the kitchen. I come from a HUGE family; lots of aunts & uncles, cousins, godparents, godsiblings, nieces & nephews. Whenever we get together, great food is ALWAYS involved. We turn the smallest celebration into something extravagant because of all the food we cook & share with one another. My mom also loves to cook & has been my teacher throughout the years.
My favorite things to cook
Desserts, baked goods, low-carb, light & healthy, comfort food & all kinds of ethnic food.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, Birthdays, Easter, Summer BBQs, Baptisms & Family Reunions
My cooking triumphs
My friends constantly ask me to make my world-famous spinach and artichoke dip...they can never seem to get enough of it! It's become one of my signature dishes; I don't have the recipe written down, just memorized, as I no longer measure the ingredients for it; I just mix away and serve it up!
