I am just in my 20's but love to WOW my friends and family with new and delicious dishes. I have a book of my own personal favorites that is like a family heirloom to me, and I keep trying to have it printed, but it keeps growing! It will be the first thing to grab in case of a fire (after the kids)! I do a lot of Mexican since my husband's family is from Mexico, but I do best with intricate desserts, breads, and savory grilled meats. Christmas Eve we make about 12 different appetizers and cook all day to eat for 15 minutes! I had a recipe published in the Nov issue of Family Circle! I have learned that my family does not like it when I hide veggies in their food! Also, that you must put sugar in pumpkin pie! Oops!
