I am a mother of two wonderful girls, age 6 & 8 and a full time working mother, but i love to cook a full meal as much as i can. I love to cook Asian and italian foods (those are my favorite thing to eat) sea foods of all kinds, some mexican foods, and vegetarian foods too, although i'm not vegetarian i love to discover tasty meals without any meat or I usually substitute that with seafood. I dont like winter at all, its way too cold here where I live. The only thing is i love to make soups and hot cocoa and winter is the best season and best time to do that - A cold weather + a big bowl of soup with company over or great time with my family!!! probably a warm blanket too with fireplace on is great. I love to eat out and try new cooking ideas, but one of my favorite things to do is go out to eat, discover something new, come home and try a new recipe, check on allrecipes.com for something quite similar, then make it a bit different that what it was at the restaurant. (my family and friends thinks that i do an awesome job at that) no huge tragedies yet. the only thing i can think of is that when i try to mock my mothers cookings its IMPOSSIBLE and will never turn out!!! My mom is a Filipino women who can cook an AMAZING Filipino dishes and Chinese meal.The thing is, she doesn't have a recipe for anything and couldn't tell you how much of what goes into what,So i what i always do is sat down or watch her her and tryied to write down the amount of ingriedients she put into one of my favorite dishes..i don't know what i would do without my mother around to cook for me.
