About this Cook
I'm a student studying to become a elementary school teacher. I am also working as a bank teller at a local bank. I live with my boyfriend, whom I test all my new recipes on!
My favorite things to cook
I love Greek, Mexican, Italian, and Indian cuisines. I am also a big fan of comfort food, especially in the form of pastas.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Holidays are always a great time to share time in the kitchen with your loved ones. I love coming up with creative variations on traditional cuisine.
My cooking triumphs
Hosting a dinner party for twenty people. It was stressful but it felt great after it went off without any complications!
My cooking tragedies
My 120 chocolate caramels that turned out oily and tasting of burnt sugar! Needless to say, I did not hand them out as favors at a party I hosted.

Two Step Creamy Cheesecake
Excellent and very easy recipe!! Cut the whipped topping to 8 oz as per previous reviewer suggestions. As strawberries aren't so flavorful at this time of year, I melted about 1/4 cup of strawberry jam and tossed with the sliced stawberries which made them taste amazing! Also drizzled some melted chocolate on top. The whole pie was gone between 4 people!

Cheese Sauce Over Cauliflower
Very good. Steamed a medium head of cauliflower in a handy steamer bag for 4 mins. Did not use thyme (not a huge fan) or paprika and there was still excellent flavor. Makes a nice presentation as well.

Chutney Chicken
Considering how few ingredients, this was pretty darn good! Cooked up some chicken thighs and breasts. The only thing I wasn't too fond of was the crunchy bits of onion from the onion soup, but other than that, it was great.
