About this Cook
I've always been able to wing it in the kitchen to get by. Now that I am older I am enjoying cooking and have so much fun trying recipes with my boyfriend. With wine of course!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Baking with my children.
My cooking triumphs
The salt encrusted prime rib roast from this sight... WOW!!!! I impressed everyone at Christmas.
My cooking tragedies
At Thanksgiving I handed my boyfriend the Cumin instead of the Cinnamon for the Apple pie...! Luckily it was on top of the sugar so I got just about all of it out and it was the best apple pie ever.

Corn, Sweet Onion, and Tomato Salad
This recipe was perfect for a summer bbq and everyone loved it. Very easy and tasty. I didn't have rice vinegar so i used apple cider vinegar and added some sugar to taste. I used purple onions and it was excellent.

Tiramisu II
Perfect recipe first time I made it! Helpful hints in hindsight: layer lady fingers tightly for a good cakelike layer - drizzle or brush coffee/liquor mix, I dunked and it was too strong IMO - I used espresso and coffee liquor and the flavor was great - when stirring the yoke mix over heat it will rise, make sure pot is large enough to accomodate and mine never boiled for a minute but I did cook and stir for a long while until the mix raised to more than double and was creamy throughout - if whipping cream with whisk mixer it doesn't take long at all, be careful to not over whip! I WILL MAKE THIS GREAT RECIPE AGAIN!

Peanut Butter Crispies II
OMG this is the recipe I have been looking for. 30 years ago I was in love with the pb rice crispy treats they served for breakfast in my school cafeteria. This is it. Chewy, peanut buttery yumminess. THANK YOU!
