Experimenting

I love trying something new.I highly dislike routine and same-ol'-same-ol'. And when it comes to cooking and it actually comes out good...its a high! Hahahaha! I don't even write recipes down. Keep a mental note...usually. Not very smart though, cant always repeat a yummy dish. But I have started to do so; thanks to the inspiration of those who love my food. One thing i don't do very well is bake. Too exact. I like a pinch here and a pinch there. And sneaking in ingredients..???? A top fav!! My boys love "stuff" on their rice. I make all sorts of purees and tell them it is "frijoles" (beans). They gobble it up!! Most of the cooking i do is too unusual for my boys. They like more plain, ordinary, everyday foods. But i still try. A rule in my house is that they have to finish something on their plate in order to be "done". On most days I serve 3 items...meat,rice and a side dish. Another rule i imply is that you must taste the food in order to say that they don't like it. I will be making some delicious recipes of my own this weekend for Lorenzo's birthday Saturday. I look forward to sharing them with you.
What is one food rule in your house?

  2. It is excellent that you are blogging, Jenny. I, myself, have had many ideas for blogs but I never act on them. I have decided to begin blogging soon, after my trip to Europe. You will soon discover that writing (and having others read what you write) is an equivalent "high" to exploring new recipes! I do encourage that you ccontinue to jot down your recipes, as they are jewels that you can pass on to future generations and a means for your blog. Hopefully, this passion helps you hone your craft in both the kitchen and the pen! XOXO. Best of luck! Post recipes soon so I can try them :)
