Oh, Im just a humorous homely gal that goes bananas with kitchen stuff. I like spoiling others with food:) I also love music, I DJ from time to time and love dancing til they turn the club lights on. I believe in the ethical treatment of farm animals on the way to people's dinner plates and support certifiedhumance.org. I love my family, my wonderful boyfriend and my kooky pets. Life is good. Anything that makes you roll your eyes to the back of your head *giggles* But, I am trying to even out my baking skills with regular REAL cooking. I love making things from scratch. To me, that shows REAL cooking skill ;) Well of course Thanksgiving is the ultimate cook-off/showdown *giggles* I hold the crown for most delicious cakes & pies. Although someday I hope I can cook a turkey like my Mom does. People travel as far as 100 miles to come have a plate every year and with good reason. No one they know can top my Mama! I get a LOT of compliments on my cakes. My top 3 would be my Kahlua cake, my Summer Cake, and Drunken Monkey cake (think ganache, bananas, and godiva chocolate liquor and you get the picture). But, lately I have been delving into more traditional mexican recipes and bread making. I hope I can do those recipes justice and aim to keep those traditions alive. Friggin' TAMALES *shakes fist in the air* One day...I shall master it!!
