There isn't alot to say about me... I am mother to the most beautiful 2 year old little girl I have ever seen. We live in a small Texas town that is growning bigger and better everyday and we love it. Seeing as we are only about 30 miles from Fort Worth/Dallas we have small town living with big town flare! I am in the struggle that every other woman in America deals with sometime in her life... My weight... Everyone in my family could use a dose of healthier eating, so we are all kind of doing it together. I saw this posted in a forum in the CC and just had to put it here...
God grant me the serenity to accept the low fat,low cal foods I cannot change, the courage to walk away from foods like cheesecake & pizza with the works, and the wisdom to know that this is not a quick fix but a change of life style. And Lord... Please have mercy on this body and lower the numbers on the WW scale!!!

I am at a point in my life where I am not real sure where to go next. But what I do know is that I love cooking. I can remember when I was 5 and my mom would let me use the mixer to help bake a cake or let me use a butter knife to help cut veggies for supper. She always included me in everything she did in the kitchen. So guess you could say my love for cooking started there. I really hope that my daughter is as interested in cooking as I was! My mom and my sister are memebers of Zaar also.

These are pictures of my pride and joy, Bailey.



Can you tell that I am a proud mom??
I love mexican food! It is my all time favorite! I am from Texas so I guess I should say Tex-Mex is my favorite. I also like Italian and Chinese. I can cook Mexican and Italian, but I have a hard time with anything Asian. It never tastes right when I make it. I am also a big fan of barbecue. I like anything that has been on a smoker, grill, or deep fried (ie turkey, catfish).
My favorite fruits are watermelon, strawberries, and tomatoes.
My favorite vegetables are mushrooms, onions, and cucumbers.
My favorite herb is cilantro... I love it!!
And my favorite protein... I bet you can guess... Yep you got it! Being from Texas it would be BEEF! I like chicken too, but there is nothing like a big ol Ribeye from Saltgrass!
And to top off all that, my favorite dessert is Creme Brulee! I can't get enough of the stuff. I just recently started making it at home, because I always thought it would be too much trouble, but it is actually very simple!!
This is my system for rating recipes:
***** 5 Stars - The recipe was great! I did not have to alter anything for the recipe to work. I have saved this in my cookbook and will be making over and over, most likely.
**** 4 Stars - This was pretty good. But I had to alter some of the ingredients to make the recipe work. I will make again but using altered ingredients.
*** 3 Stars - This was okay, nothing really great about it, but we won't be having left overs. I had to alter too many ingredients, and change the recipe totally. I probably won't make again and I wouldn't serve to company.
** 2 Stars - This was border line bad. Won't make again and won't finish eating it.
* 1 Star - Horrible. Could not swallow! Threw it out! Will NEVER make again!
