About this Cook
I am fantastically typical, and I rather like it that way!
My favorite things to cook
Quick and healthy meals for me, comfort food for my boyfriend. I love Mediterranian flavors and spicy food!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Knotty rolls on Thanksgiving (family secret recipe-you won't find it here!) and that Mom still makes our favorite meal for dinner on our birthdays.
My cooking triumphs
That I am batting 1000 for the men in my life. NOT an easy task!
My cooking tragedies
My knife skills are a tragedy. And so was the risotto I attempted last year : )

Slow-Cooked Chili
Makes a wonderful chili! A few minor changes- I only made it for two people so I cut the recipe in half. It doesn't have an abundance of flavor on its own, so I added another clove of garlic, crushed red pepper, and a whole lot more chili powder (didnt measure, just dumped!). I seasoned the meat heavily when browning. I also added 8oz. of tomato sauce per the other reviews saying it wasnt moist enough, and I think that did the trick. It has a wonderful dark, rich color and the house fills with the smell. I will make this one again!

Winter Chicken Bake
I'm confused. All the other reviews are stellar, but my socks weren't knocked off. It needs something-like a sauce. There is little to no moisture when its finished cooking, and makes the overall impression of the dish less appealing. I will make it again however. It was tasty, easy, and healthy. I think next time I will pour 1/2 C. apple cider over everything befor baking to create more of a juice/sauce.
