Many of my friends have asked me to keep a blog about the foods I make and share with them. I used to cook twice a week for a FREE room at my friends home in New Mexico, while I attend graduate school at UNM. I also love to entertain and cook for my friends and family in Colorado. I often remix other recipes with fresh ideas and unique healthy twists of my own. I cook with organic ingredients, whole, natural, minimally processed foods, with local and seasonal varieties from farmers markets.
