My name is Nancy. In my spare time about once a month I write, I blog about something. I enjoy writing. In some instances I learn about a food item when I do research on the food item I write about. For example, when writing about lemons I learned that lemons are high in Vitamin C.

I enjoy cooking occasionally. I do not cook anything elaborate, that’s what restaurants are for. I cook Mexican food, American food and some Italian food. When I cook, I sometimes cook with Pellegrino Mineral Water. When I cook, I also sometimes cook with crystals and stones. Cooking with crystals and stones is fine by placing crystals and stones on a candle holder on the stove top or kitchen top. I do not actually put crystals or stones which are natural elements into the good. I then put on at happy music or soft music and think happy along with good thoughts while I am cooking and making the food. The natural elements crystals and stones are going to reflect like a mirror 🪞 our emotions, how we feel when we cook, are we just cooking or are we cooking with love, are we in the room depressed or happy, are we listening to anxiety music or relaxing, romantic, etc. Many people say to me, yea I have crystals and stones they don’t do anything for me. My response is that because you are not respecting the natural elements crystals and stones. Your moods, attitudes are whatever but if you had a guest in you home would you display the same ? Respect the elements crystals and stones, be happy, have love in your cooking and have a relaxed loving atmosphere, ambiance.

Cooking Is Balance to me. I enjoy creating delicious beautiful meals occasionally when I cook. Just to answer a lingering question you might have. Nancy if you like cooking why not cook more ? The answer is because the smell of food bothers me after a while. Therefore, I can cook but not everyday. Strange but it is what it is. Here are some of my food creation thoughts and meals. Steak with a Nopales Sauce. The side dish is oven cooked mashed potatoes. The potatoes are cooked in the oven to enhance the flavor and richness of the potato. Then I make regular mashed potatoes by adding butter, milk and salt. Chicken Breast stuffed with toasted chicarones pork skins and peaches with a bacon sauce. The chicken breast is regular chicken breast that is split open then held together with either toothpicks or cooking string. The chicken breast is cooked with the peaches inside. The chicarones, the pork skins are cooked separately in a pan with a bit of oil to get that brownish crispness. After the chicken is cooked about half way that is when I take the chicken breast out the oven and put the cooked crispy chicarones, pork skins inside the chicken breast and tie cooking string, ripe around the chicken breast to hold everything the peaches and chicarones inside. I cover the chicken breast from the moment I put them in the oven. For the bacon sauce, I cook bacon, cool, then put in blender where add liquid. The liquid that I add is the peach juice from squashed peaches. Then I press liquify on the blender and pour that over the cooked chicken breast on the dinner plate. The side dish is cilantro lime rice. Chicken Fried Steak with a gravy made of local tequila. The side dish is Grilled Brussels Sprouts. Brisket served with whole grilled nopales. Toast. To add a little bit of “awww” to breakfast I make Toast using cookie cutters in the shape of Texas or cookie cutters in the shape of hearts.
I was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas. I grew up going to Catholic Church. My mom would take us to Mission San Jose Church. The old building to me was beautiful and the music mariachis were the best. I made my First Holy Communion at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church on Laredo Highway street. Then as an adult I converted to the Christian religion. The difference between Catholic and Christian religion is that in the Christian religion No Saints are prayed to and No Confession Booth where go to confess sins to a priest. In the Christian religion Jesus Christ is the only one pray to and instead of going to the confession booth just ask silently, “Jesus Christ please forgive me of all my sins”. I had a good childhood, I was in the Brownies and sought to get every badge possible. I had a Lemonade Stand. I made green tea from tree leaves and sold it to the kids. When they complained the tea tasted yuck then I would say they were sissy’s for complaining about the delicious tea I made. I had fun as a kid. I was always very competitive with the boys. In one bicycle race when I was winning one of the boys caught up with me, kicked my bicycle, I fell down and the bicycle spoke went into my right knee cap area. I did not tell my mom because she had told me to stop playing with the boys. I silently ran inside and held my wound in the bathroom till it stopped bleeding. To this day I still have the scar on the right leg knee cap area. Growing up I got a good foundation from my mom who taught me to Appreciate Our Country, the USA. To this day I still do a lot of volunteer work. My mom would tell me in this country you can be anything you want Nancy. I loved the Flying Nun tv show and Bette Midler along with Barbara Streisand. Therefore, thought hum the Flying Nun that sings beautifully like Barbara Streisand and Bette Midler with a touch of Flint and James Bond but not for a government agency or a job, but instead for whoever and whatever that I decided on. And that’s how my hobby of research analyze write started many many years ago. I decided on Customer Service being my field. Then during the years I added to enhance my Customer Service skills. I have schooling and training in psychology, communications, business, it service management and finally project management. I work and I have my hobby two separate things. My parents were divorced when I was a kid. I would see my dad during visitations. My dad gave me the good foundation to respect my mom and not to judge people. My dad would tell me, “Nancy listen to your mom and don’t judge her”. To this day I still do not judge people. Both my mom and my dad are dead but their love and teachings are always with me.
