About this Cook
I'm 42 years old married with 2 wonderful kids. Recently I left a career in retail management at the Home Depot to go back to school and become a nurse. I grew up with nothing but home cooking using only what we grew so cooking was instilled early in me.
My favorite things to cook
Anything new that I can tweek a little to make it my own. Primarily my family and I eat ethnic foods (spicy prefered)...we love to experiment!
My favorite family cooking traditions
The only real traditions we have is to sit down for dinner every night as a family. Holiday traditions change year to year because, (did I mention) we love to experiment.

Jalapeno Steak
WOW, this is a fantastic recipe! I doubled the recipe becasue I had about double the steak (flat iron steak). I didn't think It was at all bland as some have stated, I also thought that the heat was not as hot as I thought it would be. My son's best friend (born in Mexico) came over when we pulled these off of the grill and stated he had just eaten so he only wanted one bite; One full steak later he asked if he could take the recipe home for his Mom. BRAVO

Perfect Baked Jerk Chicken
Great Recipe!! The only thing I am going to change is to cover the chicken while baking to keep it more moist, then uncover near the end when I turn on the broiler to crisp it up. I also added some crused red pepper for a little more heat (personal preference). Other than the fact that the chicken was a little dry it was fantastic.

Easy Pancakes
Sorry, I did scale back the baking powder as I knew it was way too much and it still came out spongy instead of fluffy. My boys (pancake freaks) said it was OK but asked me to find another recipe for next time. I will keep to some of my tested recipies.
