Wife and mom to three beautiful girls ages 18, 7 and 3. I was born and raised in Florida and now live in beautiful Tennessee. I love to cook (almost) everything. My favorite things though, are the things that my family loves to eat the most. I love to make Key Lime Pie and a my own recipe that we call "chicken, black bean stuff"- I should probably come up with a real name. And now Flan, because it's my husbands absolute favorite. Basically anything that reminds us of our Florida roots. For Christmas it's an absolute must that I make rolled sugar cookies that my daughters and I cut into Christmas shapes, frost and decorate. We also make cinnamon rolls for major holidays and for birthdays. I'm a way better cook than when my husband and I first got married so I consider that a huge triumph. When I was about 10 years old, I decided to make up my own recipe for goulash (I don't even know if that's how you spell it). My mom didn't have tomato sauce so I used ketchup and a ton of powdered garlic. My dad ate a whole plate of it and I thought it must be really good until I tried it. Yuck! That is the worst thing I've ever eaten. My poor dad! He was a really good sport though and didn't want to hurt my feelings. I still get teased about it every time our family gets together. *But* I'm still not afraid to experiment.
