About this Cook
I am a proud wife and mom to a beautiful little girl and three, YES THREE dogs. I am a stay at home mom and I love to cook. I enjoy spending time with the hubby and my princess. My most favorite part of the day is going for a nice walk with my husband and dogs after dinner when the weather allows. Those walks become extra special when the princess decides to join us.
My favorite things to cook
I like to cook anything. I truly enjoy trying out new recipes. I just recently discovered my love for making anything that involves me making dough.
My favorite family cooking traditions
When ever my family gets together, someone (usually my mom) will make a Pernil which is Pork shoulder seasoned and put in the oven for 3-4 hours. I just made one for the first time during the Thanksgiving holiday "09". It has taken me this long to make it because I was worried mine would not come out half as good as my moms. It turned out amazing and I can't wait to make it again. I think making a Pernil during Thanksgiving will be MY new tradition. ;)
My cooking triumphs
For me, anything I make that my family enjoys.
My cooking tragedies
Can't think of anything right now, but I will get back to you all on this. I know I have a few.

Candied Kielbasa
This was so good! I have become bored of the same old Kielbasa recipes and needed something different. This definitely hit the spot and everyone loved it. It actually kind of tasted like a sauce that Hickory Farms used to make and it was my husbands favorite, so finding this recipe was great. Will definitely make again especially as a "football food".

Tasty Lentil Tacos
These were good. Hubby and daughter liked it. Daughter said it was awesome. I will make again. Maybe next time I'll try using taco seasoning and see how that works out.

Suki's Spinach and Feta Pasta
Great pasta. It was quick and easy and a nice change from your regular jar sauce. The whole family liked it. I am not a fan of mushrooms so I left those out and added about 1/2 cup of ricotta cheese and garlic and onion powder, oregano, parsley and italian seasoning. This dish is a keeper.
