About this Cook
Happily married with a son. Teacher. Theater type.
My favorite things to cook
I love making Truffles, and other sugary things . . . that are now mostly off limits to me now. I am learning more about making my own baby food! I do mostly special event cooking while my husband covers more of the day-to-day. I like easy to prepare, high-impact meals!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom has always made the best sauces. My dad has an amazing salmon recipe (the "I'd tell you but I'd have to kill you" type of recipe).
My cooking triumphs
Making 200 truffles for a friend's wedding.

Yum! These are fabulous! I used 1 lb turkey and 3 lbs beef to make a 4x batch. On the advice of other reviewers, I used real garlic and ice cream scoops for quick measuring. We just ate big ones with pasta and I have smaller ones cooking up for sandwiches this week.

Parmesan Spinach Balls
Just made these for a dinner party. I made little Parmesan bowls for them. They made a delightful presentation. To increase the flavors, I added some shrimp (about 2 handfulls of tiny bay shrimp) and chopped up 2 strips of bacon. Since I had it, I tossed in a bit of the grease. I also only used 16 oz of spinach. I used the frozen variety in the bag, not the Brick-O-Spinach. It was very yummy and worth making again. :)

Parmesan Baskets
Fixes for when I messed up: I didn't have parchment, so I just used the cookie sheet. Turned out OK. Oily, but OK. When I tried to move them from the pan to the molds (I was using an upside-down mini muffin pan), I realized I'd waited too long and they were no longer pliable. So, I just tossed the muffin pan in the oven with the flatish cheese on top. The melted right over after about a minute. I really liked the shape.
