My name is Abby. I am a native Texan and I live in North Houston with my fantabulous new husband and our German Shepherd.
I teach high school English.
I just started REALLY cooking in late 2007. Before that it was a struggle to get me to make a grilled cheese and I always convinced people to cook for me. I think I felt a calling to learn how to cook because of the "Ta Da" factor!! Being an artist, I love to step back and say "Ta Da!! Look what I made!"... it's a good feeling. And with cooking when you're done, you get to eat it!!
UPDATE: Since the new year, I have started cooking healthier and living a more active lifestyle. I feel better and the new recipes I post will probably reflect this change.

I will pretty much try anything... unless it's still alive.
Texans love anything spicy, especially Tex-Mex food. I am also half Italian... so I think you know where I am going with that, "Mangia!!" I appreciate true Japanese cuisine. My favorites are sushi, cheese enchiladas and tea!!
