I am happily married to a wonderful man. We have 5 wonderful boys and recently had are first grandchild, a little girl. Needless to say she is already spoiled rotten. I am having so much fun buying for a little girl! With 5 boys food was always a big deal. They have large appetites so it is a good thing I love to cook. Food and Family go hand in hand. We owned a Mexican restaurant while I was growing up so my specialty is Mexican food. I do love trying out new recipes and try to do so at least once every week. I like putting a spin on my grandma's recipes that she past down to me. Making tamales every year. My mom, my two sisters and I get together and make 40 lbs at once. We freeze them so we can have them throughout the year. Another big tradition is making my grandma's pudding that she made for us every year at Thanksgiving. It takes hours to make but well worth it. Learning how to make my grandma's pudding without scorching it and having the right consistency. When I first got married my husband wanted me to make Biscochitos. I had never made them so I went on line and found a recipe. I always follow a recipe exactly the first time I use it and make changes the next time if I feel it is needed. The recipe for Biscochitos that I found called for 1 cup of baking powder, I thought that seemed like a lot but followed the recipe, oh how I wish I hadn't. They were the worse cookies ever. But my husband being the wonderful man he is told me they were great and proceeded to eat them. I finally made him stop and threw them all out.
