Well what to say, what to say? I am a single mom of 4. 15, 18, 20 and 23.I have been cooking all my life, I started out growing my own food and canning it. I loved that. My favorite things to cook are Fajitas and comfort foods such as homemade macaroni and cheese and casseroles. I am now into cooking indo-european and mediterranian foods. I can remember my mother , my sister and I sitting at the table assembling wontons all day. THAT WAS FUN!! I was raised in California and we ate mostly chinese food. OOoooohhhh I just made a PERFECT pan of banana pudding!!! I have a terrible time with brisket ( ok I have had time to perfect it. so its much better!!). Go figure.
