My husband and I recently moved to Las Vegas to start... a church! Yes, people do live in Las Vegas, 2 million in fact. It's quite a change from living in Texas, but slowly I'm adjusting. We know this is where we're supposed to be, and that's all that matters! We've been married for almost 6 years, and we have two beautiful children.

My favorite things to cook
Mexican/TexMex... we ate alot of it in Texas, and now that's all we know! But I try to cook healthy meals for my family, so I keep the Mexican food to once a week.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom and I would always bake pies Thanksgiving morning while watching the Macy's parade on tv... Even though she lives far away, I still do this and now I've been letting my daughter help.
My cooking triumphs
I made the best apple pie in the whole world, last year. Maybe it was just a fluke, but it seriously was the best I'd ever had!
My cooking tragedies
I got this recipe for chicken fajitas from an authentic Mexican cookbook. I followed the recipe exactly, but somehow they turned out sooooo nasty. My husband ate them anyway, pretending to like them, but I refused. I was so mad, they seriously took way longer than the quick kind, where you just add fajita seasoning. Never again. (I'm still a little bitter)
