    About

    Everyday Southwest is a collection of my favorite Southwest recipes and family traditions - I was born and raised in Southern Arizona and come from 5 generations of Arizona women. We have chile peppers in are blood! I love to cook the foods of the American southwest and  traditional American fare with a southwest twist.

    Come along with me on our family's southwestern culinary adventures!
