About this Cook
I'm a Licensed Massage Therapist. I love organic food, and I am trying to cook healthier meals for my boyfriend and I. I love to bake and cook, and I've been taking charge in the kitchen since I was 10 years old. I'm born and raised in the Mid-West, but living in the South-East now, so my cooking is adapting the longer I live here.
My favorite things to cook
I adore all baking, especially muffins, pies, and cheesecakes...I'm learning to love Puerto Rican/Latin food,as my boyfriend is from Puerto Rico, and I recently fell in love with plantains (they're so versatile!!).
My favorite family cooking traditions
My family has always made comfort foods: pastas, and heavy, hearty, filling meals and sweets. My mom is well-known for her homemade pancakes, apple crisp, sour cream sugar cookies. My grandma has her beloved chili, egg-salad, strawberry layer dessert, and buttery rolls.

No Bake Oatmeal Cookies
I give it a 4 stars only with a few alterations. I didn't have cocoa powder, so I melted one square of semi-sweet baking chocolate into the butter. I also reduced the butter to 1/2 C (one stick). To make the cookies stck together, I added 4 Tbs. of peanut butter (I like crunchy, but you can use any kind). I loved the end result!!

Banana Milk Drink
This drink was great!! I found it years ago in a Lifeskills textbook, and loved it then...so excited to find it again :) I always add 4 ice cubes to this drink to give it a better texture and colder temperature.

Incredibly Cheesy Turkey Meatloaf
This was *THE* best meatloaf I've ever eaten! I did follow other reviewers advice of soaking the breadcrumbs in the milk, and I'm sure that added a lot. The other alterations I made were adding (couple dashes of each) Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, crushed red pepper, 3/4 C chopped onion, 1 clove minced garlic, substituted kosher salt for regular salt, shredded the cheese, and covered with classic BBQ sauce instead of ketchup. My fiance raved, and we both would make this easy meatloaf again in a heartbeat :)
