Tuesdays with Tierra: Welcome, Tierra!

As I mentioned yesterday, I am welcoming a wonderful addition to this cooking blog! Her name is Tierra and she's my cousin. She loves to cook {and I have to tell ya, that's pretty hilarious! You'll see the details of why below.} and she has graciously agreed to post some of her great recipes from time to time! We've created a new installment called "Tuesdays with Tierra" and we're both super excited about it! This week, you get a formal introduction to this super cute cousin of mine and then we get to look forward to her recipes! Here's the sweet intro she has written up for us:

Why do you cook?
~ I would say there are two reasons 1: I love the satisfaction of making a tasty meal or a baked good for my husband, family and friends :D 2: When I am having a bad day or am stressed about my studies cooking/baking is a fun way to get my mind off things.

What is your favorite thing to cook?
~My new recent thing I like to cook is Chicken Pesto or Alfredo Pizza

Five Fun or Random Facts About You:
1. I used to hate cooking. It was a chore to even help Jessica make Swedish Pancakes lol
2. I used to hate reading and it is my third love. 1- my husband of course 2- cooking 3- reading lol
3. Im obsessed with pictures, I have pics everywhere in my house
4. I hate getting my face wet. Yes, you are correct in thinking I do not get my face wet in the shower; when I'm swimming and doing the front stroke I will keep my head out of the water lol
5. One of my biggest pet peeves is people not spelling correctly. I am horrible at grammar but spelling has always been my strong suit. I won the spelling bee in 5th grade and won a scooter! :D

What is your desired super-power?
~ I would love to be able to read minds.

What is your favorite dish?
I am in love with my chicken pesto pizza, homemade chicken egg rolls, and maple-glazed pork

~ I am 21 years old, married to an amazing man for 1 1/2 years, and just graduated college with Associate Degree of Applied Science in Nursing. In other words I am currently studying to take my state boards to become a registered nurse! That's all about me! I look forward to sharing some of my recipes whether they are borrowed ones or my own.

See, isn't she fun? She and I share some of the same loves {cooking, reading, families} and we also share the same hatred of getting our faces wet! Maybe it's a family thing? Anyway, I am so excited to have her joining us in all our cooking adventures! Welcome, Tierra!
