About this Cook
Wife and mom of 3. Love cooking. Hate the cleanup, but I clean as I go. I love trying new ethnic dishes, but also cling to comfort foods.
My favorite things to cook
Asian meals, steamed rice with an impressive, flavorful main dish. I love braised anything. I try to keep things heart healthy for my family during the week and have an "anything we want" night on the weekends.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Paula Deen's pot roast is the best and we have this at least 2 x's a month. We always eat dinner together. We pray together and enjoy cooking together. I try to include my kids in the process because they seem to be more likely to try new things that way.
My cooking triumphs
Winging it while making white clam chowder and having it turn out great.
My cooking tragedies
Getting distracted and not pulling things out of the oven before they turn to jerky.

Stef's Super Cheesy Garlic Bread
This was really satisfying. I was looking for something a little richer than your standard toasted butter with parmesan cheese on top of bread. My family really enjoyed this with the angel hair pasta I made tonight .... they asked for more....

Candy Apple Jelly
I made this jelly because it sounded easy and very festive. I sold it at a friends boutique next to jars of green jalapeno pepper jelly and put out samples on top of cream cheese with wheat thins. They loved it. I love that it's so easy, the color is a clear bright red and it tastes great on toasted sourdough with butter! Yum!

Maple-Soy Glazed Salmon
I am a huge fan of Grilled Salmon, and have tried two previous maple-soy glazes. This one is the WINNER! It was just the right balance of salty and sweet. I cut the pepper down just a bit (I have small children) and I actually mixed up the glaze and cooked it on the stove in a saucepan and added a bit of cornstarch to thicken it up. I cooked the salmon on the grill without cedar planks but on foil and when it was 90% done, I brushed the glaze on reserving some for rice and veggies. (I doubled the glaze recipe). It was terrific. I had a maple soy glaze recipe from Bon Appetite that I had tried but this one is going to be replacing it. Thanks.
