About this Cook
I am a recent graduate from Nursing school at Mercyhurst College in Pennsylvania. It is an Irish Catholic school with excellent credentials, staff and programs and has an exceptional Nursing program.
My favorite things to cook
When I'm busy, I like quick and easy foods, but also something healthy. Otherwise, I love to experiment in the kitchen with healthy foods, vegetarian and exotic foods from around the world. I'm really rather eclectic when it comes to cooking.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Since I'm part Mexican I love to cook spicy foods. I have an excellent recipe for green chili chicken enchiladas that I make. It's it's always a hit at parties!
My cooking triumphs
My own recipes that I invent in the kitchen... Adobe bread, Texas skillet etc.. I love to "create" my own meals.
My cooking tragedies
There have been a few occasions where I have become preoccupied and forgot something on the stove... wella! Burnt casserole! We have a sign in the kitchen that seems apropos. It says "When the smoke alarm goes off, dinner is ready!" -- That would be me!

Fabulous Wet Burritos
Having been raised in a traditional Mexican home, these burritos were just not that good. They were certainly not reminiscent of anything authentically true to kind of good Mexican fare that my mother and so many of my relatives made. Too many canned, processed products (come on, tomato soup?) made this very gringo tasting in my book, and the sodium, fat and cholesterol content was way to high! Not at all healthy! If you're not familiar with traditional Mexican cooking, then this is probably alright. But for me, I was not at all impressed with the quality of this dish.
