About this Cook
I am a student with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and working on a Masters in Social Work. I would love to meet Paula Deen!!
My favorite things to cook
I love pasta because you can put ANYTHING in it and it is instantly a carb-loaded comfort food! :) I love bacon, butter & baking!
My favorite family cooking traditions
We make gingerbread houses the day after Thanksgiving every year. They are inedible, but all 100% food...unless I cheat and use hot glue instead of frosting to stick mine together! =]
My cooking triumphs
I pulled off an entire Thanksgiving dinner for the first time in 2010 - nothing burned/undercooked/otherwise inedible!! I'd call that a WIN!
My cooking tragedies
I can't for the life of me make grilled cheese. And it takes me hours to make french toast. I still having figured out why I have a deficiency in either of these dishes!!

Whiskey Cake I
This cake was OK. I didn't like it much, but a few of the older gentlemen at the party I served this at went nuts for it. It just tasted like plain white cake with a few nuts in it to me...It was certainly not dry, though!

Dill Vegetable Dip
I followed this recipe almost exactly. The only change ws I used green onions instead of a white or yellow onion. I find that they are much easier to mince than the others and have a fresh, mild taste. I was very happy with the results as I really didn't want to use dehydrated onions or a soup mix. Nice, unoffending seasonings - a crowd pleaser!

Astoria Crab Pasta
This recipe is incredibly light and bland. I would have given it 1 star, but because it will be so easy to jazz up in the future (like, 10x the garlic, 3x the spices and champagne!) I will give it 3. It is a good base recipe or if you have picky eaters who only like butter noodles, this is a good one to get them started on. I used shrimp and scallops instead of crab.
