Another one has come and gone.  For this mother of five, Halloween has evolved quite a bit over the past 27 years.  Where once this time of year meant burning the midnight oil sewing costumes, visiting the local pumpkin patch and selecting our pumpkins, carving and roasting seeds, decorating… MORE

About this Cook
A wife and mom of five beautiful children who love to eat! I absolutely love living in south Orange County, CA. I enjoy cooking for my family almost everyday. I derive such happiness from feeding people and filling their tummies with good food!
My favorite things to cook
I have a favorite peach cobbler dessert that my hubby loves and it is so easy to make. It puts a smile on anyone's face.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas eve dinner and St. Patricks Day dinner. My husband and kids look forward to these dinners each year.
My cooking triumphs
I cooked a huge prime rib dinner for Christmas last year for a large family dinner (20+) and it was delicious although a couple family members could not get over the very pink meat!
My cooking tragedies
A lemon meringue pie I cooked when I was about 18 years old would not set and it was full of liquid when I cut it. My dad still teases me about this to this day!

Sauza(R) Raspberry Margarita
We thoroughly enjoyed this drink and will most definitely serve this again. We did use our Ninja blender to mix the ingredients with ice and whipped it up really well to a good froth. We also used the margarita mix that has to be refrigerated and has an expiration date. It is better than the kind the you do not have to refrigerate and I believe makes a difference.

Argentine Meat Empanadas
My family loved them. I did, however, substitute Johnsonville Italian Sausage for the ground beef which gave it a more chorizo taste. I did not use shortening but vegetable oil instead. I added 2 cloves of minced garlic, used less paprika and added some oregano and pepper and I left out the raisins. I used pastry discs from a local Mexican market. I fried ours in vegetable oil until lightly golden brown. Fun to make!

Italian Wedding Soup
Great tasting soup. I used a bit more spinach than called for. Due to the meatballs it was a filling soup and can be used as an entree with a load of home baked bread.
