About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook!! I am always willing to try something new or experiment to make a regular dish spectacular. I love stews, soups, and enchiladas.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My great grandparents had a farm in Virginia, coming here from Ireland. When the family gets together, I make southern favorites, like greens, sweet potato pie, and corn pudding. YUM!
My cooking tragedies
I cannot cook rice to save my life! No matter how many different methods I try, I cannot get the right consistency.

Shrimp and Octopus Soup (Caldo de Camaron y Pulpo)
I had a bag of mixed seafood and a bag of imitation crabmeat that I got on clearance at Target. I was looking for a recipe to use it and came across this one. Turned out wonderfully! I didn't have any celery so I used celery salt, and used both fresh and stewed tomatoes. I also added a little comino powder to give it a little smokiness. I will definitely be making this again! It was so easy, so fast, and so delicious!

Praline Biscuits
I figured out what to do with the butter once I had it melted with nowhere to put it! I used chopped pecans instead of whole ones. When I flipped these out of the pan, the gooey brown sugar/butter glaze dripped down the sides and the pecans stayed on top. These have a great texture and the sweet/savory taste of them is just the thing when I've got a sweet tooth.
