About this Cook
Having 3 girls under 5 makes cooking a challenge, but fun. I usually have a "helper" alongside. I love cooking and am a type A personality, so I like to have the kinks worked out in a recipe for my picky eater hubby. I really love this site as I have more hits!
My favorite things to cook
I generally keep homemade hummus every other week or so. It is so easy and a great snack. If it includes tomatoes, I'll try it. We are really into chicken and ways to make hearty meals on a budget.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Our 'secret' Cuban Black Beans. There is also a Moho sauce to go over it that I am trying to obtain. I have a book of another Grandmother's recipes that I love to comb through- banana pudding comes to mind.
My cooking triumphs
My biggest hit so far is my Spanish Bean Soup. Maybe I'll get around to posting it on here. I get requests to bring my hummus too when we are going to a crowd event.
My cooking tragedies
Wow, once I tried to make buscuits from scratch and switch the baking soda for the power or visa versa and they all tasted like pretzels shaped like buscuits. We all had a good laugh. Now I use Busquick!

Best Bread Machine Bread
I added the extra salt that was mentioned and it is great. I am letting the bread do a 2nd rise in the oven over a hot pan of water to have a controlled environment. Rises for 1 hour then I cook at 350 for 30min. Beautiful each time!

Corn Tortilla Chips
Loved them warm. You can reheat in the oven if they get soggy to crisp up a little.

Classic Cuban Midnight (Medianoche) Sandwich
Good to be able to do this at home. These were yummy flavors together. I usually have to wait to get home to FL to experience it. This will hold me over!
