About this Cook
I am a singleton pharmacist gal who needs to cook for myself more...fast food is the devil!
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake, since there's not a whole lot of room for improvisation (when I try to improvise, it is usually a disaster!)
My favorite family cooking traditions
Going to Grandma's for Friday night dinner (beef parm, greble and potato soup, even Sister's Chicken!), my mom's best meals made from cleaning out the fridge, and summer cookouts.
My cooking triumphs
When it turns out right the first time!
My cooking tragedies
Improvising most of the time, most slow-cooker attempts, and the time I served my friends raw chicken!

Banana Butter Icing
Attempted to make twice...the first time I followed the directions as written, mixing everything but the powdered sugar all at once...DON'T DO THIS! The banana puree and lemon juice will NOT cream with the butter properly. Instead, cream the butter on its own, then add the powdered sugar in small batches. Alternate adding sugar and banana puree until it's fluffy and creamy. It has a nice banana flavor and thick texture.

Hot Pink Lemonade
Tasty and refreshing...I used a few fresh lemons and bottled lemon juice for the rest. I also cooked the berries in a little lemon juice and water (~1/4 cup total) until they released their juices...you could strain the skins out at that point if you wanted. Tart and refreshing!

Annie's Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Chips
If I could give this 10 stars, I would! This is an original, tasty, and refreshing summer recipe that has everyone flipping out! I have taken it to numerous barbecues, picnics, and other parties and have watched it disappear. A co-worker of mine ate about 8 servings of it one afternoon...it's THAT good. It is worth it to take the time to make the cinnamon chips...they actually stay fresh for quite awhile in an airtight container, so you could make a large batch for multiple occasions. Make sure you buy thin tortillas (Pinata brand in the refrigerated case are my favorite) so the chips are nice and crispy. Dicing all the fruit to about the same size is also worth the extra time...it makes it easier to eat.
