Smile!!
About this Cook
I am a 25 year old home cook. I've worked in the resturant industry my whole life. I love to cook! I love to try new things ;)
My favorite things to cook
italian food, pasta, chicken, beef. I don't do seafood..
My favorite family cooking traditions
During Christmas time I would cook with my grandmother. We would cook pies from scratch and all kinds of cookies. Those are some of my fondest cooking memories!
My cooking triumphs
I have tried some crazy things with food. My boyfriend tells me that even when I mess up, the food still tastes great!
My cooking tragedies
I can't seem to cook biscuts properly. They always burn, because I can't seem to remember that they're cooking. Ha-Ha :)

Slow-Cooked Chili
I have to say that this chili was amazing. I did make a few changes though. I added cumin and red cayanne pepper during the browning process and some more in the slow-cooker. Also, I added 2 jalepenos seeded and chopped and a little parsley to garnish. I think that for my first time ever making chili it turned out fantastic! It had a nice spicy afterbite. We loved it! I will use this recipe for a long time to come.

Chicken and Red Wine Sauce
I have to say that I have never cooked with wine before. Knowing that I say this. I guess I used too much wine and not enough brown sugar. The chicken was moist, and good(underneath the wine flavor)but it just had no real pizzazz. I would love to try this recipe again, I am just a bit nervous about using the wine. I read from other reviewers that this recipe is too sweet, but I didn't have that problem. In my opinion it was too bitter.

Perfect Turkey
I was, as always, in charge of the turkey this year for Thanksgiving. Well, this year I decided to try something new. I used this recipe(with some of my own tweaks) and it was a hit! I used chicken broth instead of the wine and I also used more thyme than what was called for. Everyone loved the turkey! This turkey was the most tender, most jucy bird I have ever made! I told my brother about the turkey and now he has me making him one especially for him when he comes to visit later this month! Thanks so much for this amazing recipe!
