About this Cook
I'm twenty-seven years old, and just recently became interested in cooking. I'm aka SiNsGirl, I just wanted a new display name.
My favorite things to cook
I'm willing to try almost anything at least once. Being a college student, my budget is limited, though.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I don't really have anything.
My cooking triumphs
The corn dog muffins; though I didn't care for them, a lot of coworkers did. Even the shop foreman said "you'll make a great wife someday." (And it's rare for him to compliment things!)
My cooking tragedies
I can't bake, which works out well because I don't have a very big sweet tooth to begin with.

Grilled Pizza Sandwiches
I stumbled upon this recipe while looking for a way to use up some leftover pizza sauce. I used two mini orange and yellow bell peppers and a deli roll since it's what I had on hand. This is great for kids, I'll agree with that. For me, however, it definitely needs some additional spices. Maybe a pinch of oregano, Italian seasoning, or red peppers flakes would be a nice addition. This is a good base recipe, though. Thanks.

Bob's Stuffed Banana Peppers
I enjoy my peppers with rice in them, but this was a nice change. I used a combination of cubanelle (mild) and hungarian wax peppers (hot) because my store doesn't sell banana peppers. I also just used the hot sausage, as other's have said how there is too much meat to begin with. I cooked these on the stove top since my oven is on the fritz; simmering (covered) on medium-low for about 40 minutes. To pipe the filling in the peppers, I put the mixture in a quart sized zip-loc bag, and cut off a corner to squeeze it out. I think I'll stick to my step-mother's recipe, but this was a great change up to a tried-and-true favorite, thanks.

Spicy Cilantro Dressing
I was hoping this would turn out similar to Trader Joe's Cilantro Dressing (I can't get enough of it!) and it came close. I used two serrano peppers with seeds (I love spicy food) but I could still taste a lot of Worcestershire. I think next time I'd decrease that amount.
