About this Cook
I'm a newleywed and work for a major consumer packaged goods corporation. I love food (in moderation!). I also love working out and shopping.
My favorite things to cook
Anything Italian, roasted veggies (they're so much better that way!), marinated steak, anything with cheese! I could live on appetizers. 9 times out of 10 I'll choose savory over sweet.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Making special Christmas cookies with my mom, sister, and aunts.
My cooking triumphs
Learning to cook fish without being afraid! Learning to experiment with food instead of worrying about screwing up and everything going to waste.
My cooking tragedies
Soggy fish, undercooked chicken, overcooked beef, burned asparagus, sinking cakes.

Beefy Cheese Dip
Oh my freaking gosh, is this good! If there are men in your life, this is the way to their hearts. Needs no changes in my opinion. I now always get requests for "the dip" when I have parties.

Best Brownies
Very good but definitely a little more cakey than fudgy. And I didn't overbeat or use an electric mixer. I will probably keep searching for a bit of a fudgier recipe. However, these are great if you don't have any baking chocolate. These call for ingredients that I would think most people have in their pantries. Thanks!

Sylvia's Ribs
I have never boiled ribs before and was not picturing a good outcome. But these were awesome!!! Some of the most tender ribs I've ever made. Only reason for the 4-star rating is that they were just a tad sweet for me. But that can easily be adjusted next time. Next time I also think I'll line my baking pan with foil - all the sugar from the sauce burned on the bottom and I think it might be a nightmare to clean. Thanks, Sylvia!
