I am newlywed to my best friend, a mother to a gorgeous baby girl, an american pit bull terrier, and 3 fish. :)
My favorite things to cook
I love tapas type of food. Food that brings people together. I love organic, fresh ingredients. I love exotic cheeses and wines. I love pastas, salads, fish-cooked and sashimi (sushi) style..Thai, Japanese, American bistro foods, chicago italian beef, soups, .. I truly love cooking and trying new things! I like to go out to dinner and make the same dish the next week- and it's better!!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Christmas cookies with my Mom and Grandma. My Grandma's chex mix at the holidays. Sauerkraut with every holiday meal!! Sweet potatoes with crusty marshmallows on top... HOLIDAYS :)!! My Mother cooked us dinner every night- we all sat at the same table every night- and, we had to "just try it" and if we didn't like it- we didn't have to eat it. I think that is why I am so diverse in my food tastes today.
My cooking triumphs
SO FAR- FUNDIDOS TOPS THE LIST ALONG WITH THE HOME MADE FRESH SALSA.
My cooking tragedies
Most things turn out edible. LOL.
