Wedding Shower Spread
About this Cook
I love to cook. When I moved from home in Ohio to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin 6 years ago, I never imagined how important baking would become to me. The therapy of creating something for others helped me overcome home-sickness and depression.
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake. I'm also a cake decorator and cookie lover. I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease this summer so I am learning to develop new methods for doing and eating what I love.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love my great grandmother's "special oranges". Though there is no cooking involved, eating these oil, salt, pepper and paprika rubbed orange slices at Christmas each year was a special tradition that I will pass on to my children.
My cooking triumphs
I catered my brother's wedding shower three years ago for over 50 people, including salads, sandwhiches, appetizers, and mini cakes decorated with fresh flowers.
My cooking tragedies
Most of the gluten free attempts at baking or cooking at at first tragic, and then I have to remind myself that I am just learning - it'll take time.

Microwave Pralines
I LOVE these and try to make them each Christmas, and then try NOT to eat them all myself!

Eggplant Croquettes
Great way to get my son to eat eggplant! He thought they were cookies when I put them on the table so I ran with it! I also decided to bake them as suggested in one of the reviews. They still turned out crispy and great!

Scallop Scampi
I substituted ginger ale for the whit wine since I had none. I also used Parmesan and added the cornstarch early instead of at the end. It was really goo!
