I love challenging myself in the kitchen. Trying new recipes and techniques is something I look forward to. Compliment me on my cooking and my sense of humor and you've got a friend for life!
My favorite things to cook
I love soups. There's so much you can do in one pot and by just changing out ingredients you can have something new each time! I love baking bread, and making cookies and cakes for loved ones.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My Ma always had a handful of tried and true dinners that I can't seem to mirror. There's just something about a meal cooked by your mother, no one can top it.
Now I love cooking with my boyfriend. We both have a passion for Mexican food and finding the best carnitas.

My cooking tragedies
Oh lordy, there's too many to list. That's how you learn though so they're worth it in the end. I guess the biggest one was when I started a grease fire in college. In a panic I couldn't remember what you should throw on it to extinguish it. Was it flour or baking soda? I chose flour, and you can guess what happened next. Thankfully my boyfriend came in at the right time and threw a lid on the skillet and saved the day! We still laugh about that to this day.
