about me

I WORK FOR KAISER PERMANENTE HOSPITAL IN THE OB/GYN DEPT. I FEEL LIKE I LIVE MORE THERE THAN I DO AT HOME. I HAD MY SON 7 YEARS AGO SO I WAS A STAY AT HOME MOM FOR A FEW YEARS AND STARTED COOKING MY HEART OUT! I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED TO COOK, IT HAS ALWAYS FACINATED ME...MY FATHER ACTUALLY TAUGHT ME AT A YOUNG AGE. MY MOTHER WAS AN R.N. AND WAS ALWAYS AT WORK. AND SHE STILL CAN'T COOK FOR THE LIFE OF HER, BLESS HER HEART SHE EVEN BURNS TOAST!!! SO I WAS DETERMINED AT A YOUNG AGE THAT IF I EVER CHOSE MEDICINE AS A CAREER I WOULD COOK AND BE GOOD AT IT!!! SO HERE I AM, MOST NEW FRIENDS OF MINE DON'T BELIEVE MY COOKING SKILLS WHEN THEY COME OVER FOR DINNER OR ON OCCASION WHEN I BRING A TREAT TO WORK THAT I MADE IT!! THEY THINK IT WAS STORE BOUGHT OR IT'S TAKE OUT, EVEN MY OWN MOTHER! SHE IS ALWAYS DIGGING IN MY TRASH TO FIND "TAKE-OUT BOXES" ..I ACTUALLY START PUTTING RECIPES IN THE COMPUTER INSTEAD OF ALL OVER MY HOUSE, THERE IS A RECIPE IN EVERY PART OF MY HOUSE AND MY FRIENDS THINK I HAVE A "PROBLEM" I JUST LIKE IT, IT'S MY HOBBIE SO ENJOY!!!!

Favorite Foods:

I AM KNOWN FOR MY LASANGNA BOTH MEAT AND VEGETARIAN EVERYONE ALWAYS WANTS THE RECIPE. MY STIR FRY THAT MOM INSISTS IS TAKE OUT, MY DAD'S CHICKEN WRAPS WHICH IS HIS SECRET, DON'T TELL HIM I TOLD YOU! (IF I EVER DECIDE TO POST (JUST BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER MEASURED IT OUT) MY CHICKEN ALFREDO AND A WHOLE BUNCH MORE...MY FAVORITE RESTAURANTS ARE GINO'S , AND ELANI'S IN SELLWOOD OREGON. BREAKFAST IS ALWAYS MILO'S OR BERTIE LOU'S ALSO IN SELLWOOD. I LOVE CUSTARD-Y THINGS, LEMON THINGS AND ABOVE ALL CHERRY THINGS!!!!
