About this Cook
I am a special education teacher and varsity basketball coach. I teach about 10 miles from the US/Mexico border. I commute 120+ miles every day to teach (gotta love my job!!)
My favorite things to cook
I love learning how to cook authentic Mexican dishes. My husband is Mexican, and his mother has taught me how to make home-made tamales, enchiladas, caldo de queso (cheese soup) and other Mexican foods. I also love to cook chili, and recently won a chili cook off!!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Making sugar cookies with my mom at Christmas.
My cooking triumphs
Taking cake-decorating classes and making very intracate designs, and having my cakes turn out beautiful and edible!!
My cooking tragedies
I cannot bake a frozen pizza without burning it!

World's Best Lasagna
It was good...not mind-blowing like I thought it would be. One thing when I make lasagna--I don't like to use all ricotta cheese...I substitute it with 1/2 cottage cheese (8 oz) b/c I don't like the dry texture of ricotta.

Albondigas Soup I
It was pretty good for me making it...but something was missing. I did listen to the other users who said to use cilantro, and added more rice than what it says.

Quick and Easy Alfredo Sauce
Great recipe! I followed the recipe exactly how it's written, with only one exception. I prefer my dishes a little saltier, so I just added more to taste!! Great recipe!
