<p>Hello! I'm a married mother of three and it always seems that I'm busy in the kitchen cooking for my family. Good for them that I love cooking. I mainly prepare Filipino food because my husband of 23 years is Filipino. I've learned how to prepare Filipino food from the best...MY MOTHER-IN-LAW!!! I also enjoy cooking a variety of foods such as Mexican and Chinese dishes. I'm always experimenting with a variety of dishes and seasonings. </p>
