I loved to watch my Grandparents cook as a child and I learned from them about ingredients.My grandfather was Philipino & Spanish- Spain and Grandma was Papago and Yaqui (American)Indian.The food was wonderful. I am a private person and have a great husband and family. I cook different meals and add a lot of vegetables with may food.Mexican dishes are great and my tamales are the best in the holidays. Homemade tortillas,enchalada's, mole,menudo, Italian food,and Vegan. On the Holiday's my daughter's help in making tamales. We have an assembly line and it goes quicker. Everyone helps prepare something when they have time and dinner is made in no time. I cook my food with flavor and with lots of love. I love to collect old recipes and try new ones. I made ice cream in a can and it was fun. Nutmeg in my oatmeal when I was 18. I took the wrong container instead of cinnamon.
