I'm a Registered Nurse, married with no children yet. In between my hectic work hours, I try to find as much time as possible to cook and bake. I really enjoy doing both and love experimenting with recipes. Hmmm... I really have no favorite. I just love trying new recipes. My background is Portuguese so I grew up on my mother's authentic Portuguese home cooking. Yum! I really enjoy the codfish cakes! I think the first time I tried cooking chili, I was surprised how easy it was to make and how good it turned out. My husband loved it! I've had my ups and downs with banana bread! I am still working on the perfect recipe!
