Pies and Tarts and Cookies…what else?

I grew up with my mom’s pies and tarts and muffins and cookies and cakes.  My memory of every special occasion has a recipe attached to it. 

My interest began with eating, and later on, living too far away to enjoy the holidays and special occasions that were always accompanied by family cooking, I took it upon myself to learn some of them myself while celebrating in my corner of the world.

Did I make apple pie in Mexico?  You bet! 
Cookies and muffins for my son?  Of course.
Tarts that are sometimes eaten far too quickly…. yeah, that too.
