I have been visiting here for a couple of years now and I want to thank you all for great tips and recipes. I have been cooking since I was 8 years old with my grandmother(mother's side) and my aunts (father's side). My maternal grandmother was from Puerto Rico,my maternal grandfather from Spain.My paternal grandparents are both from Sicily.That could be why I have such a passion for cooking and baking-many wonderful childhood memories in the kitchen.Alot of people claim my husband Jimmyof 26 years is a brave man to have married me with so much latin blood.He sleeps with one eye open- what can I tell you!! We have/had 3 children-our oldest son Jymm passed 6 years ago at the age of 18,my second son Dennis is 21 and my daughter Kiersten is 18. My sons loved to cook- my daughter has no interest whatsover- her only recipe is for jello shots and that she acquired at college Well that's about it-Thank you all again for educating me,inspiring me, making me laugh and humoring me- You're all terrific!!
