About this Cook
If I had an unlimited budget to build a house I would create the kitchen first and build around it... If I could cook everyday for everyone I would...I collect cookbooks and one of my most favorite things is sitting down with a brand new cook book and exploring it for the first time... Recipes inspire me - I take a recipe and run with it - that process is so much fun!
My favorite things to cook
Well, guacamole is my favorite condiment of all. Therefore, I will build a meal around that every week!
My favorite family cooking traditions
I remember my Nana's Sunday Dinners and I hope to resurrect that special occasion in my family.
My cooking triumphs
I have my entire extended family eating Collard Greens for our traditional New Years Day Dinner. My recipe uses a saute method with olive oil, onions, apple cider vinegar and sugar. It's expected every year now!
My cooking tragedies
I have failed so many times on just the average meal. How many times I have said out loud "what was I thinking?". But how can you create a masterpiece if you don't experiment and make mistakes?

Chicken Potpie
I finally did it! I finally made a chicken pie! I followed the recipe exactly and used refrigerated pie crusts. The recipe was easy and the outcome was delicious. I had some leftover pie crust scraps and filling so I made a little pie in a small ramekin. It was cute and extra tasty with a greater ratio of pie crust to filling.... Next time I will make many individual pies instead. I loved that this recipe made an extra pie for freezing.

Avocado Shrimp Ceviche-Estillo Sarita
Fantastic - I changed nothing except serving the ceviche with tortilla chips instead of crackers.

Kale and Banana Smoothie
Fantastic smoothie! I keep a bag of chopped frozen bananas to use in my smoothies for the chill factor. I also use agave nectar since that is what I usually have on hand. Kale is super nutrient dense!
