About this Cook
My husband is a chef and I make pathetic attempts at cooking. I'm a much better baker, but, I'd really like to learn how to cook much better than I do now.
My favorite things to cook
Comfort foods, yum. I love to bake cookies, brownies, cupcakes, cake, you name it I'll bake it!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Mainly just eating the wonderful Italian food my grandmother cooked as a child.
My cooking triumphs
Baking seems to be my strong point, however my true triumphs are cooking dishes my husband likes since he's the chef and all! (and yes by the way he tells me the truth if he doesn't like something haha). I also seem to make a pretty mean breakfast.
My cooking tragedies
I burn popcorn a lot. Hahahaha. Oh and once I made boiling water on the stove explode. Yes...explode. Don't ask.

Aunt Bev's Famous Apple Pie
Delish! I followed the recipe to a T. This was my first attempt at a pie ever so, I had a bit of trouble rolling out the pie crust (I had to buy boxed pie crust mix b/c I couldn't find already made shells go figure). Anyways despite my crust not looking so perfect the pie tasted awesome! This is a great, simple good old standby that I will definitely make again. I found already rolled pie crust at the supermarket the other day too go figure! Next time I will use that :) Thanks Aunt Bev! ;)

Lemon Soup
Very good quick alternative to avgolemono soup (greek lemon soup) which normally takes much longer than this. This was quick, easy and tasty. Next time I will probably add bits of carrots or maybe pieces of chicken but this was a great quick fix for me tonight since tomorrow is food shopping day and the pantry is a bit empty!

Steff's Shepherd Pie
Very good, easy recipe that even I can make haha. I did make some changes though. Instead of ground beef I used ground turkey, instead of cheddar cheese I used 2% american cheese, and I also used red potatoes for the mash and mixed veggies. It still came out great and I would make this again definitely.
