About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
desserts. I guess I like them most because they usually get eaten the fastest and I get to cook again sooner.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I LOVE Christmas! My mother and I always get together to make peanut butter balls and coconut candy and all sorts of other things while listening to old Christmas jazz. Cooking is my favorite family tradition period.

Grilled Tilapia with Mango Salsa
I made this with frozen bass from fishing season surplus. I didn't have all the ingredients, so I didn't use a sweet pepper, just added 1 jalapeno, 1 red chile, and 1 green chile cut up in large pieces so I could pick them out after their flavors had merged with the rest of the dish (I like spicy, but not too hot). I made the salsa the night before and then marinated it with the fish for about an hour before cooking. Then I cooked all of it in a non-stick skillet until the fish was done and the salsa was charred a bit. Lastly, I sprinkled paprika on top of the fish with a bit of lime zest and lime juice. I served it with colored toasted tortilla chips on a bed of fennel and jasmine rice with lemon and lime. The dish smelled wonderfully fragrant (not at all fishy due to the citrus acids) and tasted heavenly! Finally something else to make with bass other than fish and chips! The bass is not as good as the tilapia, but it is still quite good:)

Bread Pudding II
I never had bread pudding before this recipe, but wanted to use up some really good stale organic muffins and some miscellaneous bagels. I believe I ended up with a cinnamon raisin and a blueberry bagel and about 2 blueberry muffins. I only used three eggs and added a dash of nutmeg and a couple handfuls of wheat germ. I also squirted in about a tablespoon of clover honey into the batter and used half white sugar and half brown. I also threw in a handful of tiny wild blueberries to clean out my freezer. I whipped the egg, sweetners, milk, spices together with my standing kitchenaid mixer before pouring on top of the breads. Then I sprinkled brown sugar on top. I also baked it for about 55 minutes. It really turned out well! It is absolutely perfect!!! And since I used skim milk, blueberries, wheat germ, and omega-3 eggs, it's actually quite healthy too. I didnt use a sauce, as it was moist and sweet enough standing alone. I tried the recipe using chocolate chips, and even though I'm an avid chocoholic, the blueberries tasted far better. Great Recipe!!!!

Spinach Lasagna III
I love this recipe! Every once in a while I'll get in the mood for an extra little kick, and since I'm no longer a vegetarian, I add a thin layer of cooked sausage right in the middle. Its fantastic! I probably add more cheese too, since I don't measure it. I love the flavor of Romano and ricotta cheeses, but sometimes plain romano is hard to find where I live, so I just use romano and parm mix. I have also used fresh herbs before, I just use more of them.
