About this Cook
Wife of one year to a Filipino, who loves both his culture's food and my culture's food (South American). Mom to two wonderful little boys; ages 5 and 4 months.
My favorite things to cook
Anything with avocados. I also make a stellar vegetable "dump" soup.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My Italian mother's spaghetti. Her mother made the most wonderful sauce and she passed away with the recipe, but my mom has worked so hard to recreate it and it's so darn close and reminds me of my "granny baby" and I love eating it. :)
My cooking triumphs
I try to have a full home cooked meal ready and waiting for when my husband arrives home from work, about 3 times a week. It's the least I can do for the breadwinner in the family. I'm currently home with the new baby, so 3 times a week is really great, in my opinion... the other two days a week, I'm plain busy with the baby or just don't feel like cooking :)
My cooking tragedies
I can't bake worth a darn. My husband can, he's great at it. He makes chocolate chip cookies that people beg for at gathering and I love him for it.

Pumpkin Fritters
I wasn't crazy about how these turned out. I didn't taste much of the pumpkin and then I added a little too much extra salt. And then something happened when I cooked then because when I served them, half of them were just batter on the inside. I'll try them again soon.

Pumpkin Cranberry Bread
I made this without the walnuts. It was really tasty, but didn't expand as much as I thought it would. I might add a bit more baking powder next time so it's a little less dense.

Pumpkin Turkey Chili
I changed it up a bit as well --- omited the peppers and used tomato sauce instead of diced, and we used ground beef instead. Delicious!
