About Me

My photo
Most of you know that I came from a big family ~ 7 kids! No, we are not Catholic. Yes, we had the same parents. (Those are usually the two questions people ask when they hear "7 kids?".) Most of you also know that my mom was sick for years. I am the second oldest, so I did a lot of the care-taking of the younger kids. I learned to cook when I was 10. I remember the first thing I cooked with my dad was Tacos. I loved cooking. Then, there was the baking. I made all the desserts and the b-day cakes for everyone's b-day, including mine. And I loved it! Another thing I remember is my grandmother making the biggest dessert spreads ever at the holidays. She made sure that every person there (we are talking, like, 30+ people) had their favorite dessert. I remember visiting her when I was 20. We cooked & baked all week. I never felt as close to her until then. We had this bond now - baking! I learned so much from her. I think it fueled my love of baking ~ and cooking! Now, at the Holidays, I make sure to prepare everyone's favorite dessert, no matter how many attend. It just wouldn't be the Holiday's if you didn't have your favorite pie, cake, cookie or candies!!

Mexican Pepperoni Pizza

Ok - this it totally made-up. Kids were having Pizza, and I'm not a pizza lover.  I want a super thin crust if I'm gonna have it.  Usually, I like BBQ chicken pizza with feta and cilantro, but I don't have chicken.  I do have tortillas, though, so I decided to make a super thin and crispy pepperoni pizza with a tortilla crust!

Ingredients:
1 Whole Wheat Tortilla
1 Tsp butter
1 Tbls pizza sauce (Contadina)
1/2 cup of Cheese
5 slices pepperoni

Directions:
1. Put butter in skillet and heat over medium heat.
2. Put whole tortilla in to heat, then add sauce and spread.
3. Sprinkle cheese over sauce.
4. Add pepperoni.
5. Add any other toppings as desired.
