"I found this in a cookbook my grandmother gave me for Christmas last year. (Texas Favorites: a Collection of Family Recipes vol. II) I had been searching for a good Carne Guisada recipe and oh man is this it. Of course I added a smidge to it, but this pleased everyone that came for dinner that night. I think it is better than most hole in the wall Mexican joints because it is full of flavor where theirs are usually bland. You can add a fresh chopped tomato and jalapeños if desired."

I love to cook and have been expanding my knowledge here for over a year. My fiancee moved in with me around the time I started frequenting this site because I had to make the same things taste different so we will not get bored. I am about to graduate with my BFA in Art Education in May. My wedding is in June, soooo my plate is pretty full physically and metaphorically... I think the greatest thing about this site is not only do you learn new ways to cook great tasting meals, but you also become more capable of making up your own recipes. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
