About this Cook
We move around a lot due to career, and I enjoy trying new cuisine and recipes wherever we are!
My favorite things to cook
1)Easy recipes with few steps!! 2)ANYTHING CHOCOLATE!!!!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Baking bread with my Mom and sister, now with my girls as well; beginning new cooking traditions with my daughters
My cooking triumphs
Birthday cakes I make for my children--whether they turn out perfect or not, the girls love them because they were made with love!
My cooking tragedies
The most memorable to me is the first time I ever cooked rice all by myself--I was 18 and staying in my Grandmother's home in Mexico. It was so dry, she had to feed it to the chickens! I'll never make dry rice again...

Basic Flaky Pie Crust
I don't really have anything to compare it to, but it turned out perfectly, so I'm giving it a 5!! I don't have shortening available in the country I live in, so --thanks for the tips to those who gave them--I used butter. I also used wax paper to roll the dough as someone suggested--that made it SO EASY!!! Thanks everyone, I'd been stressing about my pie crusts and because of this recipe, I didn't need to!!

Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread
Really great when you want an old fashioned, sweet cornbread! The first time I made it, I only put 1/2c. sugar in, thinking 2/3 was way too much, but my husband said "I like really sweet cornbread!", so the 2nd time, I put it all in, and it turned out perfectly! Thanks for a great cornbread! We use it for chilis, soups and even breakfast!

Tasty Tender Pork Tenderloin
I was tired of fixing my pork tenderloin the same old way I always do, so I came here to see what I could find...I found this recipe--very different from anything I've ever done--and it was terrific AND easy!! I saved some of the sauce and used it the next day on chicken--that was great, too! Thanks for the recipe!!
