About this Cook
Just moved to Sunny Fort Myers and since I've not yet found a decent job, I've had plenty (way too much) time on my hands so I've picked back up my allrecipes.com habbit and have been trying out all kinds of great recipes. My problem is my boyfriend is anti-vegetables and working them into meals is no easy task! Check out my blog at fortmyerschick.com!
My favorite things to cook
Everything...as long as it's not too hard!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Sunday pasta dinners when I would wake up and smell the sauce already cooking on the stove. Whenever I visit mom's house it's still like that and it feels like home.
My cooking triumphs
Ricotta Stuffed Zucchini (from this site)...not because it was so difficult but because I tweaked it on my own and it came out amazing.
My cooking tragedies
Cucumber soup. It was a disaster and stared pouring out of my blender. My daughter still makes fun of me and that was 10 years ago.

Awesome Sausage, Apple and Cranberry Stuffing
This was my first ever attempt at stuffing. My bf doesn't like pieces of celery & onions, so I was looking for something I could make that would still have flavor enough to be tasty even though I was leaving those things out. This recipe was delish! The rosemary and sage gave it such a yummy flavor. The apple and dried cranberries gave it texture and color and the only changes (other than omitting the veggies) I made were to use fresh herbs (doubled amount) and some extra butter brushed over the top the last 10 minutes of baking. Really good stuff!

Easy and Elegant Pork Tenderloin
This recipe is a keeper! After reading reviews, I decided to add a little salt, pepper & garlic powder to the pork before rolling it in the olive oil and then through the breadcrumbs. I also added grated parmesan to the italian style bread crumbs and put aluminum foil on the bottom of my baking sheet for easy clean-up. The other thing, and I think this was most important - TENT ALUMINUM FOIL OVER THE TOP for the first 27 or so minutes because if I hadn't done that, I'm quite sure the entire topping would have been burned. Anyway, this was absolutely delicious and very moist. My boyfriend enjoyed it so much that he requested a repeat performance next week.

Old Fashioned Potato Salad
Came out great! I did have to add more mayo but that might be because I left out the relish (bf doesn't like it.) Will definitely make this again!
