About this Cook
I cook almost every day of the week and find allrecipes.com very helpful. Every time I can come up with something to make, I turn to all recipes.com. It's SO much easier than searching through the tons of cookbooks I own. :)
My favorite things to cook
Quiches are great for breakfast since they can be prepared the night before and then popped in the oven. I love making dishes that use seasonal items. For example, a tomato, basil, avocado, and onion salad is perfect in summer and squash recipes are great in fall!
My favorite family cooking traditions
I remember my mom making dozens of Lepkuchen cookies at Christmas time and storing them in large metal popcorn tins with an apple to keep them soft.
My cooking tragedies
I tried making a recipe I found from another site. WHAT a disaster. The recipe called for wonton wrappers in replace of noodles for lobster ravioli. I spent the $$$ on the lobster just to have the dish ruined with the wonton wraps. In hindsight, I should have known they wouldn't work. I questioned it, but figured it would be good if they posted it online. I'll stick with allrecipes.com from now on.

The Best Seafood Stuffed Mushrooms
These were incredible. However, I'm not quite sure why the egg is necessary.??? I left it out and thought that the mixture would also be a great dip with ritz crackers.

My Crab Cakes
I loved this recipe! I've made crabcakes before, but never one where you breaded them after mixing (typically the ingredients were all mixed at once). This made all the difference in the world. I served this with some fresh homemade guac, but preferred them alone. Delicious!
