About this Cook
I'm an American advertising professional residing in the UK. It's my first time living abroad and I'm loving it! So many new experiences and British food is lovely (you just have to know what to buy/order).
My favorite things to cook
pasta, curries, mexican, casseroles and meatloaf (because it's easy).
My favorite family cooking traditions
pasta, pasta and more pasta because I was raised Italian-American.
My cooking triumphs
I've made some yummy stews and pizzas before.
My cooking tragedies
Royally messed up creamed spinach once with too much nutmeg!

Sloppy Joe Sandwiches
This recipe was fine but I would do as other reviewers have suggested and add that white wine vinegar. I also found that the meat got very dry by simmering as long as 45 min. The second time around with the vinegar and 10 - 20 min. of simmering, the flavor was much better.

Baked Pork Chops I
This recipe is so good, I'm making it for Valentine's Day. Last time it got a very enthusiastic response from my boyfriend. I did not deviate from the recipe except to add in fresh mushrooms and lots of black pepper. Great comfort food!

Chicken Enchiladas V
Great results! I would double the sauce/filling as others suggested. I made this for guests and they all enjoyed it very much.
