I have been cooking for 15 years, and my repertoire has expanded to cover Asian, Italian and especially Latino. I love baking desserts, and am currently into pies. My latest challenge is to make sure that I make more health conscious meals for my growing boys and their changing tastes. Anything dessert. Also, if anything looks technically complicated, I want to try to cook it. My kids are becoming experts in the kitchen, and I am including them every time I try a new recipe. In a way is really about creating a tradition for them. Buying a stand mixer allowed me to finally make edible bread and pizza dough about 3 years ago. Have made several kinds of bread ever since, including a whole wheat honey bread I made last week. Had to be the first time I made bread about 7 years ago. I kept adding flour to keep it form sticking to me. Ended up tough as a brick. Also recently tried gnocci, while simultaneously making a baked dessert, and overcooked them; looked like oatmeal.
