About Latin Cuisine

There is a lot more to Latin Cuisine than the commonly known Enchiladas, Tacos and Burritos. While these are delicious....I would like to bring to your attention that Latin Cuisine is very much influenced by other cultures. I grew up with cumin, coriander and my absolute favorite herb cilantro, just to name a few ingredients.  These same ingredients are present in the Indian Cuisine as well as the Asian Cuisine. 

Latin America consists of many different countries from Europe to South America and within these countries exists specialties that vary from country to country. My goal is expose my followers to all these countries and I too will learn as I go!

I was so excited to receive the news that my cookie recipe Pecan-Cinnamon Wafers was selected as one of the top Semifinalist!  The contest continues on to what is being called the "Baker's Choice" and here the public is to vote for their favorite cookie.  The voter is also automatically entered into a drawing for a stand up mixer!! That is exciting.

So excited to start my own blog....

I don't know what makes me think I can do this.  I have been contemplating the idea of blogging simply to share recipes and ideas and often thought "big deal". But it's amazing how many people have taken to blogging and I have to say it's fun and interesting because we are a diverse world with many ideas to share. ;) 

So Here I am a mother of three wonderful boys who simply loves to cook starting to share recipes and ideas!  Thank you for tuning in.
