I want to someday have my own restaurant in lake Arrowhead. I absolutely love cooking and entertaining! Cooking is therapy for me and I love to see how happy people are when they eat my food. My favorite things are traditional Mexican dishes from my family, Italian and barbeque. I love experimenting and trying new recipes that I've created. I own my own catering company and love when my clients want to try new dishes that I created. It's my dream someday to own my own restaurant in my beautiful city of Lake Arrowhead, CA. Allrecipes.com is one of the best cooking sites I have ever used. I tell all my friends and everyone loves this site. I love cooking Italian and Mexican foods. I had the best teachers for my Mexican dishes, my parents are wonderful cooks. I love experimenting with different Italian dishes with fresh ingredients. I love baking too. I love trying new dessert dishes and I am always the one to volunteer a dessert for a function. I love making dishes that my mother and father and grandma taught me to make. One of my favorites is homemade Taquitos with gucamole, Pork Chile Verde, Mexican rice, refried beans, my grandma Jennie's macaroni salad and my sister-in-law Patti's Strawberry pretzel salad. That is my favorite meal to make. My favorite time of year is Christmas when my mom and my aunts have our annual tamale party. We have so much fun making homemade tamales and just being together. I love having succesful dinner parties. I've done dinner parties for 50 or more people. I love cooking dinner for our church. I am in the catering business and I enjoyed cooking in client's homes. When I first got married, my husband was my food tester and would try all the dishes I was learning to make. Some were not so successful, but he always encouraged me and knew with practice I could be the excellent cook that I am. I am know a caterer in the my home town of Lake Arrowhead, CA
