True story. I was never a huge fan of Mexican food. We had taco night every once in a while when I was a kid, but it was the stuff out of the box. When I moved to California, I was,for all intents and purposes, forced to at least tolerate it. Mexican food is just everywhere you turn here. I've now lived in California for a little over ten years and it's finally grown on me. I mean, I even crave it! One of the dishes that made me fall in love with Mexican food are enchiladas. Oh my goodness! Gooey, cheesy, saucy deliciousness.

Happy New Year!! This is my first blog of 2016. What better way to start the year off than by talking about what I did on New Year's Day. Last year's New Year's Day Pizza Party was such a success that I decided (or rather my family not so subtly suggested) we do it again this year. I love cooking for my family and friends-I just don't always have the time to do it. This party was the perfect excuse to have everyone over to see our new apartment . Yes we moved, again... My brother suggested Asian food this time and I thought, why not? Originally, I was only going to make egg drop soup and fried rice. But somehow, egg rolls got added to the mix. Then, my boyfriend, who doesn't like either of these dishes, asked if could make chow mien and firecracker chicken (it is New Year's Day, after all). Suddenly, my small menu, turned into an Asian feast. But I wasn't worried, so what that I had never made Lumpia (Filipino egg rolls) or Firecracker chicken from scratch. Challenge accepted!
