I have developed a passion for cooking that I thought I would never have. Growing up in a large family you would think I would have helped with the cooking but I didn't. It wasn't until my kids were grown and gone that I, in a quest for healthy eating, started to experiment with new and different dishes. I'm no Rachel Ray but I do enjoy any reason to try out a new recipe and my husband loves it. Talipia, Salmon, Chicken, bar b que brisket, anything mexican, Casseroles and Fish Coming from a very large family of eight children we ate a lot of casseroles and leftovers. Since I try to eat healthier we limit our "casserole" type dishes to only occasionally. My mother made some pretty awesome baked beans which I wish I had the recipe for today. She also used to make nine loaves of homemade bread every week that was to die for. Spinach stuffed salmon, Broiled Talipia Parmesan, Shrimp Scampi Adobo, Shrimp Linguini and Chicken Asaparagus crepes Too many to mention but I do remember making some awful home made bread that you never knew from batch to batch if it would rise or not. It ended up being about three inches high and weighing a ton!
