About this Cook
As a future physician, I take pride in taking high calorie fattening meals and making them healthy, convenient, and tasty! Anyone can make food taste good with butter, salt, oil, but it takes trial and error, time, and technique to make food that's filled with nutrition and love.
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake especially for the Holidays. I challenge myself by taking dishes that are good and good for you!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Southern cooking, cookies, cakes, tarts, breads, and sauces.
My cooking triumphs
Baked goods that are healthy! Banana bread, pumpkin pie, chocolate cupcakes, dirt cake, strawberry cheesecakes, and zucchini muffins. I have also mastered a low calorie cordon bleu, chicken pot pie, and spaghetti sauce.
My cooking tragedies
I tried to make banana upside down cake. YUCK!!! I also used 3 hours of my life to peel, chop, and steam butternut squash to then puree as a sauce for chicken pasta...it was way too naturally sweet and nobody asked for seconds :(

Hariton's 'Famous' Vegetarian Casserole
Left the skin on the eggplant. I didn't have summer squash. Changed the serving size to 9. PERFECT AMOUNT for a family of 4, and there are plenty of leftovers. No need to add water half way. I cooked on the middle rack for 1 hour on 400. Smelt good, and tasted great.

Chocolate Cavity Maker Cake
So the cake is moist, but honestly I don't think it's worth the calories! It has a boxy type taste. I followed the instructions except I used: Reduced Fat Sour Cream, 1c of choc chips, Sugar Free Instant Pudding, and 1/4 c baileys 1/4 c coffee. I baked it in a bundt pan at 350 for 1 hour and it came out a lil' over done. I will def have to had a ganache to keep this good. So bummed :-/
