About this Cook
I'm a legal studies student at George Mason University. I live with my lovely sister (who is studying culinary arts) and I enjoy fishing, raiding the local library and Barnes & Noble, and having long, ridiculous conversations with my friends. I am currently studying Latin, gradually losing weight and becoming a healthier individual, and brushing up on my American history. Yay. :)
My favorite things to cook
pastries, chili, salsas, casseroles
My favorite family cooking traditions
Lefse, corned beef and cabbage, homemade orange julius, apple pie with sharp cheddar cheese on the side...basically anything cooked by my mom.

Roasted Beets and Sauteed Beet Greens
Simple, clean, and very tasty! Next time I might add some herbs. This time, I took another reviewer's suggestion and roasted the beats with carrots. I also roasted some garlic cloves along with it. Very, very good! Will definitely be making this on a regular basis.

Curry Pumpkin Soup
It was OK. I will probably make it again, but I will most likely omit the sugar. I used red curry, which was the best part of the soup because I enjoy spicy foods! Anyway, this was easy to make, with inexpensive ingredients, and very healthy!

New Orleans Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie
I love pecan pie. I love chocolate. I love bourbon. But I guess I really don't love it when these three tasty things are mixed together. I only had one slice (and I made two pies). It was OK, but I wouldn't eat it again. However, I'm giving it 5 stars at the request of my friends, who fell head-over-heels for this recipe and devoured both of the pies. So I would make it again for special occasions, but never for myself.
