My husband is prior military so we have moved quite frequently we recently settled in Florida (the state I am originally from) and we love it here! I have baked over 10 cakes in the past month for friends, family, bake sales, and cake walks and it is awesome! I think I just might have found my specialty!
My favorite things to cook
I love cooking Latin food. Everyone begs me to cook it for them and I have been told I should open my own place. I love making tamales and chile rellenos, those are my faves because I can make alot at once!
My favorite family cooking traditions
I didn't really grow up with a parent that taught me how to cook. It just became something that I loved to do. So I make it a point that at least once a week my kids and I bake or make something together. It is usually something sweet and we love to decorate cookies!
My cooking triumphs
My latin food... arroz con pollo, arroz con leche, enchiladas, tostados, plantinos, empanadas, tamales... you name it ... I have just about perfected it, or so I have been told, lol.
AND CAKES! (finally!) haha
My cooking tragedies
Biscuits! The first time I tried to make homemade biscuits they were so flat and hard they could cut diamonds. After many many attempts and a secret from my wonderful Grandmother... I finally learned the art of home-made biscuits.
