About this Cook
I recently married in 2007. We have 2 dogs and 2 rabbits. I also work in technical sales full time. I love spending time with my family and friends and love to entertain.
My favorite things to cook
Anything really.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My grannys fried chicken and gravy and her sausage gravy. Also I love to cook manacotti, lasagna, and chili.
My cooking triumphs
For thanksgiving last year my husband and I held dinner at our house. This was the first time I have ever cooked a turkey. My dad is an excellent cook and usually makes the turkey so I had some big shoes to fill. My First Thanksgiving turkey was perfect and one of the best I have ever tasted. I was extremely happy on how it turned out.
My cooking tragedies
The first time i made No Bake cookies, they didn't set up right and well I am sure you can guess what they looked like. However tasted excellent.

Baingan Bharta (Eggplant Curry)
Loved it, I peeled the eggplant and cubed it before baking to shave off some time but over all easy recipe and turned out really good. I eyed the spices vs. measured thought because I didnt feel like it was going to be spicy enough but it was very spicy :) I think next time I will measure and adjust based on our desire for hotness as a prefect this one.

Salsa Chicken Burrito Filling
Very good and super easy. I used the crock pot that some had suggested. I also used 1 can of HOT enchilada sauce vs tomato sauce and 1/2 cup of salsa vs 1/4 cup along with the low sodium seasoning. Everything else I kept the same. It turned out excellent and cooking it the crock pot made it easy to shred. Next time I think I will add some diced onions and maybe a diced jalapeno for some added flavor. Over all this was excellent and easy to make.

Twelve Minute Pasta Toss
Really good but could use a few more veggies for my taste. I added some green onions but next time think I will throw in some mushrooms or green peppers as well. Over all this dish turned out very good and something we will eat again. I did chose to only toss together the amount we were going to eat to ensure that a reheat would taste better then if all thrown together.
