About this Cook
College student trying to teach myself how to cook before I have to worry about a family to feed someday - Lord willing =)
My favorite family cooking traditions
My family makes homemade noodles every Thanksgiving, which is a wonderful tradition. My Great-Grandparents also owned a candy story where they made their own secret toffee recipe, which has been passed down throughout the family.
My cooking triumphs
I have succeeded in not lowering my standards to the typical college eating habits and have been making more "impressive" meals each day.

Chicken Pesto Pizza with Roasted Red Peppers and Asparagus
This came out of the oven looking very impressive and tasted great with a couple modifications. The pesto flavor was too overpowering and made the pizza kind of dry (this may have just been the pesto I used). I ended up putting pizza sauce on top of everything and sticking it back into the oven to heat it up. I would suggest adding pizza sauce to this and not solely using the pesto, it really improved the taste. I also tried canned asparagus for the first time, something I will never do again, definitely a vegetable that needs to be fresh. And the directions on roasting red peppers were great and mine turned out perfect!

Pumpkin Pie Bread
Perfect! I applied the modifications of using only applesauce, half brown/half white sugar, and doubled the pumpkin w/ some extra pumpkin spice. baked at 350 for 70 minutes and it turned out perfect. I also tried as pancakes and they were melt-in-your-mouth good!
