About this Cook
I am happily married to a wonderful guy, and we just gave birth to our first child. I'm a critical care nurse manager. I have a 10 year old Yorkie named Sassy who loves my cooking!
My favorite things to cook
I enjoy taking recipes and tweaking them to make them more healthful and specific to my tastes.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My family and my husband's family get together for Thanksgiving, and everyone makes their signature dish, which ends up being A LOT of delicious food!!
My cooking triumphs
Successfully lightening up my husband's favorite dish of Cajun Chicken Pasta. Also, this delicious pork tenderloin w/ an olive caper sauce.
My cooking tragedies
I once made a seafood lasagne that ended up giving my husband and I food poisoning from bad shrimp. In my defense, I was VERY young and inexperienced in the kitchen. I'd like to think I've come a long way.

Jalapeno Popper Spread
This is absolutely delicious! The suggestion from another reviewer to use panko bread crumbs mixed with the parm on top was perfect as it helped create a true, crunchy, "popper" feel. This is my new favorite dip recipe! Thanks Denise!

Cheese-Stuffed Shells in Marinara Sauce
My family enjoyed this. It was simple to prepare (we doubled the recipe). I added oregano, salt, and garlic powder for add'l flavor. Would probably make again.

Pad Thai
As written, there is not nearly enough sauce. I decided to triple the sauce per previous reviews, and also followed one reviewer's excellent advice (ErinJW?)and got my oil in the wok nice and hot, added the scallion and 4-5 cloves of fresh crushed garlic, and then added the chicken and eventually the noodles and sauce. We used limes instead of lemon, and rice vinegar. I also spiced it up w/ chili garlic sauce (sambal olaek). THEN it was delicious!
