I didn't learn to cook from my mother so when I first got married I was clueless on domestic matters, now 4 years later I feel pretty confident in the kitchen. Both my husband and I work so meals during the week are simple fare that can be prepared in 30 minutes or less. Weekend I get a bit more daring. I'm always looking for shortcut recipes that are big on taste. One of my favorite things to cook is Slow-Cooked Barbequed Pork Sandwiches with colesalw served on top. My family likes this meal and I like it's simple prep. My husband and I make Tamales at Christmas. It's a tradition I would like to pass onto our children some day. Dulce De Leche Cheesecake is my showstopping signature dessert that I serve to guests with a special pride and joy. Too many tragedies to mention. My kitchen maxim is to try anything once, who knows? You might just be a better cook then you think you are!
