Lets Cook!!!

Cooking has always been a huge passion of mine since I was a little girl. My father was a chef in many different types of restaurants and taught me part of what I know, the rest I learned along the way. Whether it be cooking a full meal or baking someones favorite desserts I am happy when I am able to provide some yum yums for those I Love!

Homemade Garlic Tortilla Crust Pesto Pizza
 with Mushrooms, Onion, Cheese, Sausage.

Garlic Tortilla Crust, Marinara Sauce, Mushroom, 

Onion, Cheese, Sausage

So the other week I taught one of my best friends how to make tortillas. She unfortuanately wasnt able to master rolling them out thin so we had to redo a few of them. I then brilliantly thought to myself, Why not use thick tortillas as a pizza crust? And BAM!!!! My Tortilla Pizzas were made. I think the red sauce I made had much more flavor and bang than the pesto but a girl cant resist a good homemade pesto sauce. The mushrooms were fresh and the red onion added a nice sweet flavor while the sausage was flavorful and pulled it all together.

(Steak with a Fresh Garlic, Onion, Mushroom Wine Sauce 

Garlic Herb Pasta 

and Garlic Butter Corn)

 Since its summer corn is in and nothing is better than Sweet Buttered Garlic Corn on the Cob!! I had bought some fresh mushrooms and had a nice bottle of Red Wine at home that came as a great asset for my wine sauce. Cooked my steak to medium and let it rest and then added the wine sauce. The flavors from the steak and the wine sauce mixed exquisitely and the pasta and corn were a very refreshing paring.

Homemade Turkey Lumpia

Lumpia is the Filipino version of an Egg Roll. They have amazing flavor and the right type of crunch. I made mine with ground Turkey, Celery, Carrots, Green Onion, Red Onion and some Soy Sauce. I love making Lumpia in bulk because I can freeze what I dont cook and use it later on when I'm craving it again. 

Big Thanks to my Daddy for my absolute love of cooking and baking..
