About this Cook
I'm a 30 year old single mother of two daughters. I'm presently in college to become a registered nurse, and I work part-time on top of that. I'm a happy person and I love life. I love to try new recipe's, I love to cook, especially bake. I love for people to enjoy my food. For me cooking and baking is theraputic. It relaxes me and brings me peice, but I have to make sure to give away alot of what I make, or I'd be as big as a house!!!

Caribbean Grilled Crab Cakes
These crab cakes were very easy to make, and absolutely delicious! I used 1lb fresh canned crab meat, but it was the crab meat from the 'claw', which is less expensive but was still just as good. For a healthier version i crushed up whole wheat saltine crackers very fine in place of bread crumbs and used light mayo, and just a heaping tablespoon of it. I probably could've gotten away with even less. 3/4 cup definately would've been way to much mayo. Aside from those changes, I followed the rest of the recipe as was. I cooked them in a pan on top of the stove in olive oil. Perfect! The mango salsa was phenominal, i used 2 mangos and 1/2 of a red onion, then followed the rest of the salsa recipe as was. This recipie served 3 adults in my opinion, if you have a big household of alot of hungry people, definately double it! I will definately make this again, sooooooooooo good! And easy!!!

Baked Pork Chops I
These pork chops were PHENOMENAL!!! I used crushed up fried onions instead of bread crumbs. I only cooked them in the olive oil 3 min per side because they were browning fast, then I baked them for 20 minutes without the sauce, 40 minutes with. I also used skim milk and 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup, and they were amazing, fell right off the bone! I served them over basmati rice. I will definately be making these again!!!
