I have recently discovered I love to show my family how much I love them by making a good, sit-down dinner at home. I can make about any Mexican dish, but I want to broaden my knowledge! I love to cook anything really... a challenge is fun as always. My husband loves my Carne Guisada and spanish rice. I don't have one particular thing; I just love to cook. I recently got my hands on my grandmothers Pan de Polvo (cookies) receipt and am proud to say my first time making it was a huge success. I don't have many traditions in this, but I hope to develop my own traditions to pass down to my children. If you ask my husband, he loves everything I make so his opinion is bias. What I know how to make, I make well. Will never forget one Father's Day when I made my father a home-made carrot cake (one of his favorites). He was sitting in front of the cake waiting for everyone to be served so we can eat together. Finally it was time to take a bite... but something was wrong. He chewed slowly and just kind of looked at me with a bewildered look. I tasted it and realized I had doubled the ginger and that was about all you could taste with bits of pineappler here and there. But my father and husband being who they are, ate every bite of their serving.
