The Inspirational Cookbook R Rangel

I guess it started when I was a kid living on a farm in South Texas and watching my mom and grandma cook. Also living overseas for nine years and enjoying the different dishes in Germany, I developed a need to try new recipes that I gotten from some of my friends stationed with us. It is because of that I get a kick of trying new recipes and changing ingredients when cooking. It is for that reason that I called my book The Inspirational Cookbook.

During my tour in Germany as a soldier, I was a house husband when I was not deployed. I used to be the cook for the family because my wife worked late, and I used to get home in time for the kids to get back from school at 2:30 p.m. I would get dinner ready before my wife got home, so being in Germany, I did what the Germans did, and that was to shop for our dinner daily. So everything was fresh, and I cooked a lot of German dishes we ate when we went out to the restaurants.

Once I retired in April of 2019, I had been thinking about writing some of the recipes down. I believe God is leading me to use my time and enjoy myself as a new retiree. Now I can retire because the first time I retired, I joined the federal government and worked for another twenty years
