About this Cook
I am a busy woman but I like to cook. It is extremely relaxing to me.
My favorite things to cook
Comfort foods that I grew up with like a pot of pinto beans, calabasita, and Mexican rice, new and exotic recipes, and desserts!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mother is a Southern Belle who learned to cook for her Mexican husband back in the 60s, so she make some mean fried chicken and chorizo tacos.
My cooking triumphs
I haven't burned the house down and the majority of the meals are edible -- triumph enough.

Shabbat Challah
I hereby declare this a 5-star recipe. I completely committed to this recipe without adding or changing anything and ended up with two ENORMOUS, golden loaves that were soft and dense. I can't wait to try it out for French toast! I agree with other reviewers, it isn't sweet but honestly, it's "just right." As a novice baker, this recipe was easy and provided great results. And don't be afraid of the quantity. I didn't halve it but wasn't unmanageable .

Sour Cream Fan Rolls
Being a stellar girlfriend takes dedication. In my ongoing efforts I've become addicted to Allrecipes. Not only did Buttery Corn Bread provoke a phone call to his mother earning me brownie points for cooking (score!), I've been able to discover his favorite dish – Easy Pancit. But, my “miracle out of the hat” recipe that saved one night of disappointing Allrecipes experimentation (you know, using those recipes with little to no feedback and crossing your fingers that it will work out), was for Sour Cream Fan Rolls. Not only were they easy to make – I literally globbed chunks of rolled dough together because my first attempts were too small, they were also easy to eat. I ended up with 18 and they were so yummy and fantastic that we ate them all in 2 days. My honey says that they are, so far, the best bread I’ve ever made. High five!

Lemon Chicken Tenders
I’m certain that this recipe WILL appeal to many folks but for us who put salt in their lemonade, this was certainly a disaster. I'm giving it 2 stars for creativity and spunk but that's about it.
