I am a busy stay at home mom of 3 girls. I love to cook and try new recipes. I enjoy spending time with my family whenever I have the chance. I love to bake just about anything so I am well liked by my neighbors as I give them a lot of my baked goods. If I ate everything I baked, I would be as big as a house! I love to cook Italian meals because they usually go pretty far and the kids love pasta dishes. As for sweets, I love making cookies and cakes. I love anything chocolate! Being of Mexican decent, I love to get together with the family at Christmas time and make tamales. We make pork tamales and it is a family affair and it takes all day. I am hoping to pass this tradition on to my 3 girls. Usually all my baked goods come out good and people come back for seconds. I have a fantastic family recipe for a homemade carrot cake that always make them come back for more. I also make a mean chocolate chip cookie! It took me a while to make Spanish Rice. I would get so mad when it wouldn't come out right that I would throw the whole thing in the garbage. I got it down now and I don't even have to measure anything.
