I am a middle school math teacher, so I have little time to cook, but when I do have time, I cook up a storm! I love cooking Mexican food, especially green pork chile and enchiladas. I also love cooking desserts. I love venturing out and trying new things, especially when I can get my family to eat new foods. It is a tradition to make candy trays for Christmas and for Valentines, which includes fudges, chocolate covered cherries, peanutbutter cups, and a variety of cookies, which include sugar cut outs decorated with buttercream frosting. I also have a traditional green chile recipe, chile caribe recipe, and salsa recipe that has been handed down from generation to generation, so the recipe is not written down. The day I perfected my family's recipe for green chile! This chile is such a family tradition that my goal was to perfect and preserve the recipe. Making toffee with a new recipe and wasting two pounds of butter. Trying to make a sugarfree chocolate cake with a sugarfree cake mix. When I mixed them together I realized it was a box of sugarfree frosting. First time I made green chile for over a 100 people. I was terrified and changed my recipe in the middle. It turned out good, but it was not my original recipe. I will never change recipes in the middle while cooking in such large quantities.
