YUMMY RECIPE'S, YOU MUST TRY ONE- "QUINOA-TABOULI SALAD"

My sister Norma, has always been the aspiring chef in the family. I bet you if there was a food channel those times, that would have inspired her to pursue cooking as a career, if not own a small cafe or something. Her passion is cooking and as far as I can remember she was always in the kitchen trying out recipe's while my glamour girl sister, Carmen was out  on rehearsals for "Dance time with Chito" with the "Coeds" -Carl Onrubia-Cruz, Ces Onrubia- Jacinto and Maribelle Payumo. Who at one time or another have tried one of her latest concoction
