Shrimp Scampi Bake over brown rice
About this Cook
I'm married to a vegetarian and love cooking with my husband. I'm an immigration lawyer and I like yoga. I'm also into wine tasting and love living in the Bay Area.
My favorite things to cook
I love tomatoes. I eat cheese every day. I want a pasta machine so I can make pasta with tomatoes and cheese.
My favorite family cooking traditions
We always make enchiladas for Christmas Eve.
My cooking triumphs
I'm getting pretty good with pizzas. My favorite combo right now is BBQ sauce, mozzerella and cheddar, fresh corn, chopped tomatoes, and red onion. I also love risotto.
My cooking tragedies
My Indian curries are bad. And I can't get pad thai right.

Excellent Broccoli Cheese Soup
Tasty! I had to make a few changes, but this was a good base. I made about 1/3 of the recipe. I added a small finely diced onion to roux. For my liquid, I used 4 cups homemade veggie stock, 1 cup milk, and 1 cup heavy cream that I had on hand and wanted to use up. I used extra broccoli, no proccessed cheese, and extra cheddar. I also blended most of it to make it creamy. I ended up needing more pepper than suggested as well.

Sirloin Tips and Mushrooms
This was so easy and so good. I had 2.5 pounds of meat so I used more tomato sauce, wine, and garlic. I also added in a little chopped onion with the garlic and beef. I put a bay leaf and a little oregano in the sauce while it simmered and served it all over mashed potatoes. I'll probably make noodles for the leftovers.
