My name is Nicole and I'm recently married to an awesome husband and step-son I've been raising for five years. He loves to cook and be a little helper in the kitchen (he's 10 now). I recently lost my grandmother and I have felt this imense need to cook and bake for my loved ones. Sometimes it's a stress reliever, I just don't like the clean up part. = )
My favorite things to cook
Tacos, (the mexican way, as my husband says), Chicken soup, pasta, taquitos, specialty salads......oh, and of course cakes and cookies.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Chicken Soup (hearty), Chicken & Zuchinni, Tacos
My cooking triumphs
When my husband gives me a high five and I can't get my step-son out of the kitchen. I really enjoy peoples honest opinion of my cooking because it helps me know if I need to change anything for the next time.
My cooking tragedies
Anybody tasting a bite of the food I made and then not eating it or making themselves something else to eat. = ( My step-son is a very picky eater so he does not easily offend me...
