I love cooking and finding different and interesting recipes. I must have 20 cookbooks on top of the 2 or 3 I have compiled myself. My biggest fan is my husband, who is also my biggest taste-tester. I also love to read, go kayaking or water rafting, knitting...I love watching movies and I love spending time with God. I am a gemini so I am a jack of all trades and a master of none... I love to cook mexican food since my husband is mexican. I try to get close to what his family cooks but I don't think I am close yet. I mostly cook with chicken. I also love to experiment with baking and go through phases where I bake cookies, pies, cakes and anything else I come across. I also love to cook pasta and italian foods. Favorite family cooking traditions...hmmm...my dad's huge meatballs. Those are legendary and the best. He also makes great hot-wings and yummy lasagna. My grandmothers chicken and veggies has been pasted down 3 generations as far as I know and is one of the fav's of the family. Also her pork-butts are the best. Making flan...I finally got my mother-in-laws recipe and although I have not perfected it I am coming pretty close. Also just cooking in general...I could only cook mac-n-cheese when my husband and I moved in together...I have come a long way and have found that I have a knack for it. Not surprising though as great cooks run in the family. hhhmmmm??? All of the sudden my memory blanked...
