About this Cook
I'm 23 and have been cooking since I was 10 and liked helping before that. I love to try new things and seeing how others like what i cook. I cook much better than I bake :( Mainly pastries I have a problem with. I tend to cook Mexican, Italian or southern foods. My grandpa was a cheft who cooked for a couple of presidents back in the day and I'd like to one day get a hold of all his yummy recipes!!
My favorite things to cook
Pastas, chicken, casseroles, cookies and pies
My favorite family cooking traditions
Nothing too big, but on birthdays and mothers/fathers day I will cook favorite meals of choice.
My cooking triumphs
Making thanksgiving dinner for the first time.
My cooking tragedies
Boiling a chicken fryer down dry, partly black and house full of smoke!! Fell asleep after staying up all night. Also making a few loafs of banana nut bread without baking soda/powder when i was 14.

I loved these! So did everyone else at my sister's baby shower. I used Mission tortilla wraps in cheddar jalapeno and since it came with 6, I was able to make 6 and not only 4 as this recipe calls for. I used half of the ranch mix, omitted the celery, mixed the all the veggies into the sour cream, spread the mix on the tortillas, sprinkled cheese and topped with pastrami slices. Came out perfect...yum!

No Bake Cookies III
I LOVE the taste of these! 4 stars because mine came out a little mushy. They should be more formed. I would also like a recipe with less sugar.

Chicken Tortilla Soup I
I really don't care for soup and especially my younger sister doesn't either. She is always hating on soup and after she saw her picky boyfriend eat and rave about it she gave it a try. I'm soo glad I finally gave this recipe a try because I'll continue to make this soup! I didn't use this exactly. I started off with whole chicken thighs in the pot and seared them for a few minutes on both sides while sauteing onions & garlic with the chicken. Then added the liquids. I decided not to use hominy since I was trying to cut back on carbs. I cut corn off fresh corn on the cob. Used one can of fat free clear broth, 1 chicken bullion cube & 1 tomato bullion cube. I used 1 jalapeno chopped and a can of whole stewed tomatoes. I didn't have any black beans, but I used a can of red beans and it's just as good. Topped with cheddar cheese, chopped white onion, cilantro, chopped corn chips, sour cream and guacamole. FANTASTIC!
