About this Cook
I am a stay at home mother of 3 beautiful little kids 2 girls and 1 boy, ages 3, 4 and 5 months. I love to learn new things and in cooking, there is always something new to learn. I also love to play pool (even though I am not that good at it), go swimming and throw family get-togethers.
My favorite things to cook
I like to cook different desserts. My husband has a big sweet tooth so he is my guinea pig.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I come from Hawaii, and there are so many different varieties of foods, anywhere from philipino foods to a roasted pig. We would get our BIG family together for a couple of days on the beach and my grandfather and my cousins would go out and hunt down a pig and slow roast the pig whole over a pit for hours, It is sooo good! And on Thanksgiving, we would cook a turkey wrapped in tea leaves underground, you haven't had a turkey until u tasted this turkey!!! It's incredible!
My cooking triumphs
My dad used to love to cook, he was a chef in the military. So one day when I was young, I decided to try and do one of his recipes all by myself....it was a break through, I felt like I accomplished something GREAT!!!
My cooking tragedies
I baked a big beautiful cake for one of my family get togethers and it looked so good! As I was bringing it out to the family, it fell!

Sour Cream Chocolate Cake
I have made this cake numerous times and it was ALWAYS a success!!! It is very moist!!!! However I did add a couple of things once just to spice it up....I made it a 3 layer cake and filled the layers in with chocolate and pushed some crushed oreos around the edges of the chocolate frosting and sprinkled some on top as well....it was gone in a matter of minutes...NO LIE!!! But the cake recipe itself is one i swear by!!!
