So one day my grandma said ok your going to learn how to cook, I was all of 8 years old and I was determined. She taught me how to make a simple spaghetti that day. And a love for cooking flourished. Last year when I made a cross country move to live with my gf I became a homemaker for a year and began experimenting in the kitchen. The internet and family recipes began to come together.

My favorite foods is definitely Mexican cuisine. I love making carnitas tacos out of a picnic roast that I marinade over night and then let slow cook in a crock pot for about 9 hours on low. My gf had never had mexican food so she got hooked fast. I make lots of varieties, and have always wanted to learn to make a good chocolate mole, as well as Tamales.

Looking forward to reading more in this thread. Thank you Sun

Thank you for sharing these memories with us. What a sweet story about learning to cook!

Looks like we have some Mexican foodies in this thread! Right on planet peeps. Love that. Lets share what we know and learn from each other.

Slow cookers are great! Nice idea for the carnitas.

I am still waiting on someone to post ideas for salsa verde. Texas..New Mexico..Arizona...Colorado...Any ideas?
