Father of one... He's two now and quite the handful. It's tough eating healthy with my chaotic lifestyle, but I'm trying. Regardless of the time restraints, I stay at home with my son during the day and often have to make a healthy meal within minutes. Not an easy task.
My favorite things to cook
My favorite things to cook are; Portuguese Kale Soup, Basil & Tomato over Angel Hair Pasta, Rice and Beans, and Mashed Potatoes. I also love to steam vegetables.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Rice and Beans are a family tradition. Very common in Brazil and I have loved it for a long time. Especially with some mashed potatoes and a piece of breaded beef or chicken... Delicious.
My cooking triumphs
My Portuguese Kale Soup came out fantastic the very first time I tried it and it seems to be easy to make although somewhat time consuming. Sex in a Pan is a great dessert that I had great success with the first time but couldn't seem to get it right the second. Oh well, too much sugar anyway.
My cooking tragedies
Need more than 1000 characters max to list all. The worst was an experiment that went wrong quick. I couldn't find anything to eat so I decided to put together what I did have. Unfortunately, what I had was, for lack of a better word, incompatible. Scrapped it and had some cereal.
