About this Cook
I'm 19 years old. I came to Canada shortly after turning 18. I'm currently a student, and living with my husband. I've always enjoyed cooking, especially baking. I'm always looking for recipes to try out so I can become a better cook.
My favorite things to cook
Any type of dessert. :)
My favorite family cooking traditions
Well, my family wasn't full of many cooks. However, every holiday I would always help my aunt cook. We cooked things that we never have any other time of the year, and just spending time together was nice. Now that I live on my own, I've stolen a lot of her recipes. She has the most amazing recipe for Christmas cookies.
My cooking triumphs
The first time I cooked without a recipe. I made rosemary chicken.
My cooking tragedies
Making gingerbread cookies from a mix. They are definitely best made from scratch.

Chicken in Mushroom Sauce
Super fast and super delicious (with the addition of garlic powder and some paprika)! How can you go wrong?

Tomato and Avocado Salad
This was good. I love avocado, and I love tomato, and the dressing compliments them well. However, it wasn't quite as flavorful as I had hoped. Also, I doubled the amount of avocado and tomato and kept the amount of dressing the same. Still way too much dressing.

Spaghetti Pizza Lasagna
This was pretty good, but nothing spectacular. I did halve the recipe, as it's just me and my husband, and it was still huge. We only ate about 1/4 of it. Should make good leftovers. I did follow the most common recommendations: layer of sauce on the bottom, cut back on the milk, extra egg, increased temp. and bake time, waiting until last 15 minutes to add cheese. I also went a little heavy on the seasonings (I get it from my husband...he's big on spices). I might make it again. My husband is a tough critic. I served it with bread and butter, cottage cheese, and salad. Very filling.
