About this Cook
I'm a mom of 4 kids (2 teenage boys and 2 toddler girls)...all picky eaters with the exception of my foster daughter (4 yrs old)...she will eat anything! I love to cook. My husband is my "guinea pig" a lot of times. However, he doesn't complain:).
My favorite things to cook
My favorite is Mexican quisine followed closely with Asian. Of course, good ol' Southern food from my neck of the woods. I will experiment with any great recipe from any part of the world. I try to make great recipes healthier for me and my family by making small modifications in ingredients (such as, instead of a stick of butter, half olive oil and half butter). You cannot tell the difference!
My cooking triumphs
I make a chicken enchilada recipe that is to die for! My lasagna is the best recipe I've found (and I've tried many). My homemade chili is also a popular request with my family and friends.
My cooking tragedies
My first attempt at making biscuits. I used all purpose flour, without baking soda or salt. My mother used self rising, of course. I was 19 "all purpose" made sense to me when I was first on my own and buying the flour. They turned out like rocks and I am still teased to this day. (Hey, I was only 19!)

Cheesy Ranch Potato Bake
OMG! This is not a dieter's recipe but definitely sinful indulgence! Added bacon too to make it even more naughty (but oh so good, as bacon makes just about everything yummier!). A little goes a long way in this recipe. Family loved it.

Cha Cha's White Chicken Chili
Really good! Nice change from traditional chili and just as comforting! Garnish with extra cheese and sour cream.
