I am married (for almost 15 years) with an 11 year old son. I have 4 dogs (3 retired/resuced greyhounds and a chihuahua/corgi mix), 2 cats and 7 birds (mostly finches). Mexican anything! I love to bake also. but I have fun trying new things. My mom taught me to make spaghetti and enchiladas. other than that there are very few family traditions that have not started with me. when a freind told me that I should be cooking in a restaurant!! I made catfish one time and it was horrible. I did the same things I always do and it was straight to the garbage. Oh and I tried a "slow cooker chicken ala king" on time and it was disgusting!
