I am a book buyer in Portland, Oregon and I wish I had more time to read (an cook!). Quick, healthy, delicious recipes. Mexican and Southern are my favorites! I loved learning to cook from my grandmother. Now my sister and I are both great, yet very different cooks! We love to hang out in the kitchen with whoever is preparing the meal and pitching in where needed. Many weeknight meals that tasted great and hit the table fast! Ruining both my stand mixer and my hand mixer trying to make bran muffins. That batter was DENSE!
