About this Cook
Married, professional with two teenage boys, busy with sports and other activities.
My favorite things to cook
Marinara sauce, Beans and greens, pizza.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Our cookout on Christmas eve no matter what the weather - we have grilled our strip steaks in a blizzard - it just makes them taste better!
My cooking triumphs
I make the best baked New York Cheesecake, and I have created my own and as everyone says the best crockpot Beans and Greens. I put together a cookbook of collected recipes for our Villages Sesquicentennial Celebration as a fund raiser and did very well.
My cooking tragedies
I once made a pot roast and the gravy turned out pink due to red wine in the cooking liquid. It looked terrible but tasted wonderful.

Corn and Black Bean Salad
I gave this 5 stars because this is one of my favorites salads of all times. I make this by grilling 4 - 5 ears of corn without husks and no oil, till lightly charred then cutting off the cob. I then add red 2 tbls. red wine vinegar and the juice of a lime instead of balsamic. Grilling the corn only takes a few mins. and realy adds to the flavor. We like it to top fish and chicken or by itself. I take it to alot of parties and am always asked for the recipe.
