About this Cook
I love to cook. I love the food network,and I love to try new recipes.
My favorite things to cook
I am currently obsessed with my slow cooker. I do however make some great fajitas, and some authentic Puerto Rican dishes. I also love to bake and spend alot of time during the holidays baking goodies for friends and family.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My grandmother is still the best cook I know. I love watching her throw things into a pot without a single measurement. Her food goes straight to the heart and stomach.
My cooking triumphs
Learning to make and can my own preserved jellies. I made them last year for the holidays and I am already getting requests for this year. Also, learning and perfecting an apple pie from scratch recipe, with just the right combination of apples and spices.
My cooking tragedies
Potato salad. I tried to make my moms potato salad, but like so many others in my family there are no exact measurments. I failed miserably. I continue to just buy my potato salad from publix instead.

Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Delight
I was up late studying and had a craving for something sweet. I came across this recipe and it was PERFECT! Took care of my sweet tooth and was super easy. I used a mixture of brown sugar (all i had) and cinnamon - it was perfect!

Depression Cake I
I always have the items needed to make this in the pantry. It is wonderful and a nice dessert to make on a budget. With our grocery budget shrinking, it is nice to have a recipe for something sweet that doesn't require so many "extras". This cake is nice enough for company. It would also be nice with a cinnamon glaze drizzled on top, or some powederd sugar dusted on top - if you were trying to dress it up. We like it just the way it is. I use 1 cup water and 1 cup leftover coffee. Also I reduce the nutmeg to 1/2 tsp. just because this is my own personal taste. I have made it both ways and I prefer less nutmeg, however my husband doesn't notice a difference when I do. Great served warm right out of the oven with a nice cup of coffee.

Cinnamon Bread I
This is a wonderful recipe! I made it tonight to have for breakfast company we are having in the morning. The entire house smelled warm and great! Needless to say, my husband tore right into it while it was still HOT and I had to make another one. This will be used again and again. It was not overly sweet and tastes great with a warm cup of coffee.
