{Ms. Buena Vida}
This is my “me” page where I describe myself in order to impress you…
I’m Leila
Jesus is my perfection xo
I have 4 blonde babies. Call me, “Mamita”
I never follow recipes, but I love to create them!
Reluctant night owl
Watch me put my make-up on…
I’m obsessed with keeping my car clean
Avocado is my middle name
I’m sooo bad at math. My kids use this.
I have the BEST friends in the whole-wide-world
SPONTANEITY > routine
This is what my ears like…
Occasionally, I smoke cigars. Is that wrong?
I enjoy reading
I sing ALL OF THE TIME (it’s annoying)
I like me some “lol”
When cooking, I always err on the side of too much flavor
I’m naturally blonde (that’s my excuse for everything)
savory > sweet
If you can’t find me, I’m probably in the GARDEN
I taught my kids to read
I can’t bake and I don’t (sorry)
Favorite movie: L’arnacoeur (Heartbreaker)
I love warm weather…actually, warm everything
I’m a perfectionist, but in the good way, of course
BUTTER is the greatest invention. That and Sriracha.
bathes > showers
I love getting dressed
I’m a horruble spellar
I’M A BIG DREAMER!
I’m always “simplifying”
I’m not an ambi-turner
I love stinky cheeses
Sauvignon blanc (I like it)
I’m a people pleaser (it’s hard to please everyone…but I try)
I can’t live without the ocean
I make coffee in a French press…bold & smooth
My feet are always cold.
I love anything coconut, anything!
I’m mad about blogging!!
I’m sure there’s more. I probably missed some super-great details about myself…Ahhh, too bad.

Actually, that is impressive. But, I like that you really did “share” yourself. It’s friendly.
I guess having four kids is impressive, but I can’t think of anything else.

I have a question. I read an article today that suggested soaking meat overnite in vinegar to tenderize it. Know anything about that? If I used red wine vinegar, what effect would that have on the taste of the meat?
Thank you!!
Thanks for following Shut Up & Cook…thrilled to have you and very envious of your new beach home!
