My Name is Amanda. I have a wonderful husband and 3 kids who love to eat. my early stages of learning to cook came from both my grandmother's one born in Tennessee in the 40's and one Spanish born in the 50's. I also learned from my step father and I was a member of many house holds learning many different styles of cooking and I'm always looking and thinking of my own new ideas. Everyone I know loves my cooking and I love cooking for them. it gives me great pleasure when I watch someone take a bite of my food for the first time.
