About this Cook
I grew up in a spanish household and I'm told that, even at a very early age, I used to follow my mom around the kitchen trying to emulate everything she did.
My favorite things to cook
Desserts are my absolute favorite thing to make. Enjoy a good italian or spanish ish also.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Being puertorican, it's definately got to be Spanish rice and pernil.
My cooking triumphs
a few years back I decided that I wanted to try my hand at baking a homemade apple pie... from scratch. Afer a few of failed attempts, I finally got it perfected... or so my family tells me. It's become a family favorite.
My cooking tragedies
I've tried several times, but as of this moment, just can't seem to get the spaghetti sauce right.

London Broil II
The first time I made this I marinated overnight and I could not believe how juicy and tender the steak was. Absolutely delicious. Even my father in law who doesn't eat much steak was coming back for seconds. The most recent time recent time I made it, the steak was pretty thick so to be on the safe side I pierced it several times and doubled up on the recipe. It marinated for only 3 hours and it was absolutely delicious. You would think it had been marinated overnight instead of just a couple of hours. Great recipe that's become a family favorite
