About this Cook
I have an 11 year old boy who hates to try anything new. He has a form of Autism called Asperger's Syndrome which makes him very sensitive to anything with flavor. Cooking is a challenge in my family! I enjoy cooking all types of cuisine and experimenting with variations of recipes that I've already mastered.
My favorite things to cook
Soups, Italian, and bar food
My favorite family cooking traditions
Thanksgiving 4 times a year! We love a roasted Turkey!
My cooking triumphs
My sausage, onion, mushroom Lasagna and Cheese filled meatballs. These are my own inventions too.
My cooking tragedies
Beef Carbonnade and Hot and Sour Soup

Spicy Pickled Okra
First Timer here. Never canned or jarred a thing in my life. Tried three different pickling recipes from this site and this recipe ROCKED! I couldn't find the schezuan peppercorns so I used 3 dried chili peppers per jar, waited the WHOLE week, my God they were good! Fear not! This was so simple and better than anything you pay $4 or $5 a jar for in the store. Thanks for the recipe and the confidence to try more!

Hot Italian Giardiniera
Wow! Not even 48 hours marinating and the heavens opened up and smiled upon me. This recipe is beyond fabulous! We added mushrooms and used 4 serrano's and 4 jalapeno's. If you like spicy use all serrano. Used 1 and 1/4 vinegar and 3/4 oil, will do 1 and 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 oil next time. Also added about 3 Tbs of pepperoncini juice. This is coming from a family who would never have considered any of these veggies in the raw. Try on whole wheat toasted Italian bread for a snack too. Can't wait to try it tomorrow when it hits the 48 hour mark!
