About this Cook
Cooking is therapy for me, especially baking. I can spend hours fooling around in the kitchen, my laptop sitting on the island counter with a new recipe at the ready. Even though my mom always cooked and we rarely ate out, I never really learned to cook or enjoyed it until my mid-thirties. I suddenly (and unexpectedly) became a mom, put my career on hold, and starting staying home with the babies. I always thought I was inept in the kitchen, so I stayed away from too much cooking, but suddenly I needed to feed those kids! Well, a few messes and mistakes later, and much to my surprise, I discovered I loved cooking and was actually pretty good at it. Now, I not only cook all the time, I cook for family, friends, neighbors, and even occasionally do a little catering when asked. Never say never!

Hearty Meatball Soup II
Easy, hearty one-bowl meal; served it with some homemade Italian bread, and it went quickly before everyone was out the door for their evening activities.

Italian Bread Using a Bread Machine
This was good bread, just not quite as good as Mama D's Italian Bread.

Simple Carnitas
I used a pork loin, rather the cut called for in the recipe, because I had it on hand and wanted to use it up. It was still very good! We loved the subtle orange flavor, and used the leftovers to make BBQ sandwiches with a little Sweet Baby's Rays sauce. Will definitely make this again!
