About this Cook
For the most part, I like eating healthy. Don't get me wrong, everybody likes a bowl of pasta from time to time, but I have to say, eating healthy just makes me feel good. My mother was way ahead of her time when it came to health food. Growing up, she never kept any junk food in the house. Looking back I'm really glad because she taught me how to eat food that wasn't processed or artificial and how to really enjoy it. My daughter and my husband are so fun to cook for, like me, they eat ALL foods, they are not afraid to try something new and different and I really love that. The three of us are like the three musketeers. We're almost always together, hanging out, laughing and of course eating.
My favorite things to cook
Everything and anything.
My favorite family cooking traditions
When I was growing up my grandmother always made a traditional Slovak christmas eve dinner by candlelight. Now that my grandmother and mother have passed we haven't kept up with the tradition the way we should have, maybe this year I'll start it up again.

Thick-Style Lebanese Garlic Sauce
This sauce is missing one VERY IMPORTANT ingredient to make it into the perfect textured garlic sauce...a raw egg white. I know it may sound a little crazy but you will forget all about that little detail once you are eating it. Other than that, good recipe, thanks alot.

Brazilian White Rice
I am not sure how this white rice can taste like so much more than white rice, but then also taste exactly like white rice. I don't even usually like white rice! I love this white rice:)

Sweet Potato Pancakes with Lime Cilantro Yogurt Sauce
These were so great. My husband loves his mothers potato pancakes, but will never let me make them for him because he's such a health nut. Sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes and plain yogurt instead of sour cream make these even better than the regular ones for us. The cilantro and lime really add a nice flavor that I never would have thought of. Will continue to make these always. Thanks!
