Cooking Tips & More.
I learned to cook from spending time the kitchen with both my parents and grandparents. Learning the basics and recipes that have been passed down for generations. I always enjoyed watching the cooking channels and experimenting in the kitchen. (Which I still do!)
I can recall countless times I burnt, caught on fire, dropped, accidentally dumped entire containers, forgot items or mixed up really important things like salt & sugar. Needless to say I created dishes that tasted like wallpaper paste. Over time I learned how to make food taste great while putting a healthier spin on a traditional recipe. Cooking really is an art and it takes time and practice to get good at it.
You do not have to be a master chief to make delicious, simple and healthy meals. I can teach you easy ways to make meals with little effort and virtually no clean up.

How to Holiday?
Some of my favorite recipes!
Rice paper rolls with thai peanut sauce! These fresh and easy rolls are the perfect meal on hot days. Cooling cucumber and heavenly thai peanut sauce, take this dish to the next level. Add your favorite proteins like chicken, shrimp, crab, pork, beef or tofu to complete this meal.
No more soggy sandwiches. Try an unconventional way of enjoying the classics we all love! Instead of bread, place your favorite salad in a fresh tomato.
Looking for the perfect treat night meal? Notice how I said TREAT not CHEAT. I really believe in treating ourselves with balance and moderation. Let's be honest, life is short. This insanely delicious take on Chile Relleno with homemade tortillas is the perfect meal. One of my personal favorites! It incorporated cheese stuffed poblano pepper with a rich spiced tomato based sauce with a little kick. Topped with purple cabbage and cotija cheese. It will make you cry its so good!
