I have thought extensively about how I want to spend my free time. I want to do something productive and fun. I decided a blog was a good way to relieve stress which is why I started this blog in the first place. I wrote a recipe and then I no longer had time to write any more. Because it's not just about sharing the recipe with you (assuming someone is even reading!) but going through the process before posting it as well as getting some good pictures! What good is it to give you a recipe I last made over a month ago? I can definitely give you more details if I go through the process the day I post it.

Sharing only my recipes did not feel like enough, I wanted this experience to be productive and enjoyable.I thought about the times I have asked family members "how did you make this?!" and how I have never actually sat down with them, wrote down the recipe and then learned hands on. The sad truth is my family members won't be around forever which means thier recipes would be lost. I wanted to keep a little piece of my family's culinary flair. I thought it be a good idea to share some of the best recipes in my family as opposed to only sharing recipes in my kitchen. This will take some time and effort because I will take a "class" with each family memeber to document the recipe and then I hope to replicate, close to the way they perfect it, in my kitchen.

This project is as much about sharing our recipes as it is about documenting them for future Terrazas generations. Who knows maybe one day this will turn into a book. We all have hopes!

To whoever has taken the time to read this: thank you!
