About this Cook
Well let's see...I was born and raised in Queens, NY. I now live in New Jersey with my husband and our furbaby Ginger. My husband and I were married on New Year's Eve of 2006. I am passionate about cooking...I love it! I love creating dish's, trying new recipes, cooking for people. My parents owned a restaurant so that is where I developed my love for cooking. I just finished writing a cookbook of family recipes. It came out so fantastic..my dad was even impressed. It was a wonderful experience collecting all the recipes from my aunts, mom, dad and my brother.
My favorite things to cook
I love pasta so any pasta recipe.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love my dad's cooking! He is Greek and is such a fantastic cook. It's great because he never uses recipes, he just knows how to make things.
My cooking triumphs
My first Thanksgiving dinner! I had never made a turkey before so I was very nervous. I cooked for 6 people..my family and my husband...it came out great!
My cooking tragedies
I don't have any.......yet! =)

Szechwan Shrimp
It bothers me to no end when people give recipes less stars than it deserves for dumb reasons like my kid doesn't like shrimp...then don't make a shrimp recipe. But anyway.....this recipe is so deserving of all 5 stars. It is healthy, flavorful and so easy. Wonderful recipe..it is now a staple in my weekly menu.

Cream Cheese Squares
I have made these about 6 times in the past 2 weeks and they get better each time I make them. I even brought them to a Christmas party at my husband's firehouse and everyone loved them. People LOVE this recipe and they are so easy to make.

Flat Iron Steak with Three Pepper Rub
It is really a shame that people who simply did not care for the cut of beef suggested by the person who submitted this recipe gave this a low rating because the rub itself is fantastic. The blend of the brown sugar and the 3 pepper flavors is phenominal. If you do not care for flank steak or flat iron...just use a different cut.
