About this Cook
I'm married and have three grown married children with kids of their own. I Lived in California for almost 25 yrs. I live in Florida now and spend most of the summer in the Bahamas. I love the water, swimming, scuba diving, kayaking, fishing, boating, power walking, and trying new recipes. Seafood is my favorite food and to be able to hunt lobster, conch, and fish then serve these fresh makes a rewarding meal.
My favorite things to cook
Seafood, Italian, Caribbean (Bahama Meals), chicken, Pork, healthy meals
My favorite family cooking traditions
Love the holiday cooking (Thanksgiving & Christmas)

Roasted Brussels Sprouts
I thought the amount of salt was too much. The first time I reduced it to 1/2 and decided they needed more salt so the second time I prepared the sprouts I used 1 tsp. as recommended. I did add Balsalmic Vinegar for extra taste. I also cut the core out so they would not have a bitter taste and cut them in half. I will always prepare and eat Brussel Sprouts this way. Thank you for the recipe.

Italian Sausage Soup
This soup is outstanding!! The only change was the Italian sausage. I used Oscar Mayer Smoked Turkey Sausage. This soup is easy to prepare and cooks quick. I made it today and will add this to my favorite recipe list. A bowl of this soup, salad, homemade rye bread with sweet roasted red pepper hummus Yummmmmy!

Hasenpfeffer (Rabbit Stew)
First time I have prepared rabbit I did make a few changes but, other then that I followed the recipe to the tee. Did not have shallots so used onion, did not have chicken bouillon so used beef granuals, did not have currant jelly so used grape. Used corn starch instead of flour to thicken the gravy. Since I made changes I rated this a 4 but, should be a 5 because it turned out wonderful!! The gravy is something to die for and I put some aside to use on other recipes. Will be making this again!!
