About this Cook
I am 27 years old. I have been married for 3 years to my wonderful husband. We have a 2 year old teacup yorkie who we adore. My husband loves when I bake and cook and will eat anything I put on the table. I love to try new recipes and found many new favorites from allrecipes.com.
My favorite things to cook
I LOVE to bake cookies, bars, and cakes. I also like to make appetizers and always volunteer to bring appetizers and desserts to parties.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I am Italian so we have many favorite cooking traditions. The big one is the sauce and meatballs every Sunday for dinner. My family makes an awesome antipesto salad, baked mushrooms and my favorite breaded artichokes that are at every family party.
My cooking triumphs
I am a good baker so I have made a lot of great cookies and cakes over the years. I have been baking since Junior High School and I used to bake my brothers cookies every week. I get a lot of requests for my chocolate chip cookies, and the peanut butter cup cookies (on allrecipes).
My cooking tragedies
I can not make a pie crust for the life of me. They are just not good and prefer the frozen already made pie crusts.

Caramel Apple Pork Chops
Oh My God these were delish!!!! I wasn't sure about the sweet caramel sauce with meat but it was perfect. My husband was floored it was so good. I used granny smith apples and next time I will double the sauce to make more caramel goodness to drizzle over the chops. I used thick cut pork chops so I had to cook them for about 20 min. instead of the 5min. the recipe states. A new family favorite.

Pecan Pie V
So much better than the corn syrup recipes out there. My husband ate the whole pie in 2 days. I think I will be making this again.

Nacho Cheese Sauce
First time making nacho cheese and it turned out great. I used white american cheese and made loaded nachos. Not only did it taste great but it looked great. I had to add a little more milk to make it thinner but that wasn't a big deal. Great recipe, I imagine you can use any cheese you want. This is perfect for fondue.
