About this Cook
I never liked what my mother made for supper so I started cooking when I was very young. In fact if I were to get into trouble my punishment would be that I wasn't allowed to use the stove.
My favorite things to cook
My tastes are constantly changing, but growing up on a farm I've always tried to cook with organic foods even before I knew it was a "thing" and became a commercial push. However, I'm just thrilled how much of it I can find at the grocery stores now that I live in the city with no garden.
My favorite family cooking traditions
We never had any growing up so I'm looking to start one or more of my own now that I'm married with a baby due in August.
My cooking triumphs
making mago sticky rice at home taste almost exactly like the one at our favorite restaurant.
My cooking tragedies
I had a dinner party and 2 of my guests were vegetarian so to be thoughtful I made the entire meal vegetarian, or so I thought. After rave reviews of my meal I was asked what was in it so I listed my ingredients and came to chicken broth when I heard 2 spoons fall back into their bowls. I felt just awful and have never made that mistake again.

Split Pea Soup
Very good. The only thing I did different was use 1 quart ham water (water the ham bone was boiled in) and 1 quart chicken broth instead of just water and put in orzo pasta instead of the potato and also added 3 very healthy shakes of tabasco.

Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi
I would never want to mess with a chef's perfection, but Target's Archer Farms brand makes a sauce with habanero's and mangos if you want a short cut.

Best Tuna Casserole
The name says it all. Best Tuna Casserole! I mixed all the grated cheese into the casserole and topped it with french fried onions. Otherwise followed the recipe exactly and wouldn't change a thing.
