About this Cook
I've been cooking the "same old, same old" for way too many years. I'm ready to move on and experiment with all sorts of new recipes!
My favorite things to cook
Well, I don't have a favorite thing to cook but I love eating just about anything fattening and yummy!
My favorite family cooking traditions
When I was growing up, it was always the holiday meals and pastries. My mom made homemade everything and it was so much fun to be with her in the kitchen for hours.
My cooking triumphs
Hmmm....my excellent Thanksgiving fare probably.
My cooking tragedies
There are way too many to even remember...

Tasty Spaghetti Sauce
Funny...lots of reviews saying how "unauthentically Italian" this recipe is. Does the title or the description of the recipe say "The Worlds Most Authentic Italian" spaghetti"? Unless I've gone completely blind, it makes no metion whatsoever regarding it being "authentically Italian" so lighten up and review the RECIPE, don't compare it to something it isn't even TRYING to be. It was a good base recipe, exactly as written.

Extreme Banana Nut Bread 'EBNB'
Holy Moly is all I can say...I only had enough banana's for one loaf so I cut the recipe in half. I'm going to the store today to get more banana's so they'll be ripe this weekend - this was amazing!!! I can't STAND when people rate recipes they've changed, but here I am doing it (but they're just slight changes!!!). I added 1 tsp vanilla, a dash of cinnamon and used 1/2 white and 1/2 brown sugar. I also changed the mixing "order" by adding the dry ingredients into the wet as it's easier to thoroughly combine that way. The only bummer for me was the 350 degree oven cooked the bread too quickly so the outside was very dark. Even with the bread being too done on the outside, this was hands down, by far, the best BNB ever. I can't WAIT to make it again next weekend and lower the oven temp to get it JUST perfect. I'd give this 6 stars if I could!
