About this Cook
My hobby is cooking. I love to try new recipes and will try anything at least three times before deciding how I feel about it.
My favorite things to cook
I've been baking since I was 6 years old. I enjoy cooking meals for groups of people. I enjoy and am accustomed to cooking a huge feast at least once a week for my boyfriend and close friends. Sushi, and fish are my specialties.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Our Thanksgiving feast is one in a million...Our grilled salmon is to die for.
My cooking triumphs
I must say Thanksgiving Dinner.
My cooking tragedies
My Mushy Shrimp Pad Thai. :( I'm all about appearance. The flavor was there, but it did NOT look appetizing at all!! I'm Sorry Bojko for subjecting you to that!

Chicken Fried Steak Cuban Style
A delicious and quick meal! I prepared it a little different. I seasoned the beef for about an hour while I was boiling my potatoes. I added salt, pepper, a hint of cumin (don't use too much!), some oregano and italian seasoning (bought as a spice at local supermarket). I then layed out three bowls, one with an egg, the other with all-purpose flour, and the last one with seasoned bread crumbs. I covered strips with flour then immersed in egg then last but not least covered in breadcrumbs. It was great! I served with mashed potatoes and salad.

Jamie's Cranberry Spinach Salad
This is absolutely an amazing salad that complements just about any meal. I prefer to use baby spinach and I like to use red onions instead. I also top it off with a freshly grated parmesan cheese. Delicious!!

Cherry Cheesecake
I was in charge of bringing the dessert for my Company's Holiday party, and I chose to bring cherry cheesecake and assorted cookies. The cheesecake disappeared within 5 minutes of placing it on the counter. Everyone LOVED it. I was really nervous because I hadn't tasted it prior to serving. It is really delicous and I recommend it to anyone looking for a no bake, budget cheesecake. Do remember to watch your measurments as there is no room for error with this recipe.
