I'm a recently graduated culinary student working in a busy kitchen in NYC. I love to cook just about anything and everything you could think of. But it definitely gets an extra boost in my book if it involves cheese :-D Thanksgiving and Christmas are definitely the best time for traditions... Dad's BBQ turkey on the rotisserie on the grill... mac and cheese casserole with mom... and Pumpkin Pie--my own special recipe. *Sweet and Spicy BBQ sauce... it took me an entire day's worth of "a little of this, a little of that..." and writing it down step by step to get it just right... but now it's the best bbq sauce I've ever tasted. *Shrimp scampi with spaghetti squash... part of my new low(er) carb kick. absolutely fantabulous. Well I've had a flop here and there, but nothing i'd call a tragedy... recently, instead of making my cookie crust for my Pumpkin pie like I usually do, I got lazy and bought one of those pre-made graham cracker crusts from the store... it subsequently burnt.
