About this Cook
I am a true foodie born and raised by foodies. My mother has instilled in me homemade cooking is way better than store bought. It may look good in a bakery display but it will never taste as great as it looks. Homemade is filled with love from your heart. I love to search for new recipes in my spare time if not reading. If you can't find me in my kitchen more than likely you will find me working for my poop business for pets or conducting legal research for the law firm I work for. otherwise I spend the rest of my time with family and friends through my church. I love life and what god has blessed me with.
My favorite things to cook
Just about everything. Especially desserts. NO meal is complete without the sweet.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Birthday meals and homemade cakes. Xmas cookies. And my new tradition brought by my new awesome sister in law homemade perogies. YUMMY!!!
My cooking triumphs
Becoming creative with Birthday cakes and confident in decorating without classes. And experimenting with recipes and adding and deleting without trying first. With experience and years of attempting builds confidence with the spice rack.
My cooking tragedies
UM let's see not burning water really! and not setting the house on fire by leaving plastic utensils in frying pans with stove on. Ha. ha. This was of course years ago. Thank goodness.

I bumped up my oven to 350 as others recommended and did not use the put in freezer afterwards bc as someone else commented i didn't need my freezer defrosting. I thought this was delicious even wo the frosting.

Ronaldo's Beef Carnitas
This recipe is awesome. I will save money on ethnic mexican steak tacos. I only feeding 2 people so I used a 2.25 size chuck roast and 2.5 large fresh jalapeños and put in my slow cooker on low for 6.5 hours perfect. So delicious. Served on flour tortillas with reduced fat cheddar cheese and low fat sour cream OMG! Will be making this over and over. Thank you for a fabulous recipe.

Fettuccine Alfredo V
This recipe is hands down the best fettuccine Alfredo next to my favorite restaurant. The key ingredient is the egg is changed the whole cosistence immediately to a rich and creamy alfredo that sticks perfect to the noodles. to heat perfect next day add a little half and half and some more parmesan and romano and it is delicious all over again the second day. enjoy.
