About this Cook
I'm a 23 year old mother of one. I have a wonderful boyfriend - he is in the military and the best thing to ever happen to us. My daughter is my life - she is almost 2 and I can't beleive that! We have a 29 gallon aquarium for our fishies and we want to get a Weimaraner puppy soon! I work full time for a construction company in the marketing department and attend college more than full time (12+ hours/term).
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake cookies! Chocolate chip and snickerdoodles are my specialties. I also enjoy planning the week's meals to keep my family healthy. I like to cook, but my passion is baking!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My family does Thanksgiving like no other family EVER. My mom's side of the family is full of amazing cooks. Someone in my family has cooked whatever it is I want to try - so I'm never at a loss for recipes! My mom has been vegetarian, my mom's mom is diabetic, my uncle is lactose intolerant, and between us all, we have tried every diet under the sun!

Balsamic Vinegar and Ginger Bok Choy
WOW! this was great! I had enver cooked with Bok Choy (I have had it in Chinese) before, but we got some in our CSA share this week. I made this with a bit less vinegar than called for, added in some salt and pepper and served it with a mediterranean shrimp & onion dish. It was fantastic!

Party Pinwheels
These were fantastic! A nice crunch makes them different from most others that are usually mushy, soft and all the same.

Bacon Water Chestnut Rolls
WOW! These are amazing! Prep was super easy, just cut the bacon in half, wrap and bake. Made the sauce as it is written with a dash of some asian hot sauce for a kick, perfection. I did bake for 30, turn and then broil for 10 to make the bacon crispy. No need to do toothpicks until serving, just put them on the side and people can spear their own, the bacon seals it all together. I used whole water chestnuts, glorious crunch! Next time, I might marinate the chestnuts in some soy sauce & sugar for a couple hours before hand to add another dimension, but it doesn't need it!
