About this Cook
Stay at home mom of 2 daughters and wife to a wonderful husband. We are a fun trio - love cooking and adventures.
My favorite things to cook
I love baking - it is a passion - but I am really getting into soup-making which I always avoided. Love indian food and cooking it - but somehow just never tastes as good as restaurant-style.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Baking around the holidays - and our cookie making parties. Oh and sending off my now famous Raspberry Sherry Trifle to my husbands work Christmas luncheon each year.
My cooking triumphs
Every new recipe is a triumph. I love finding a recipe and making it and having it turn out perfect. Life is too short for lousy recipes! Making baklava was pretty great - no one could believe I made it from scratch... if they only knew it was an allrecipes.com simple recipe.
My cooking tragedies
Choux Pastry in culinary school - it was my nemesis.

Swedish Meatballs II
I only made the meatballs - and placed them in another sauce recipe. However, my meatballs completely fell apart. I even added 2 eggs instead of one. It obviously was down to the milk/bread crumb mixture as I've never had that happen. Very disappointing.

Swedish Meatballs I
I usually avoid recipes with condensed soups - and was weary that this used TWO cans. But the salt levels were fine. What I was surprised at what there was no depth of flavor. Definitely something missing.

Lemon Coconut Squares
I followed the recipe as stated, and while we did like these they weren't what I expected. Given the amount of lemon juice, I was expecting a nice tart flavor to contrast with the coconut. However, they turned out more like a coconut custard bar. In fact some people I served them to said they would never know that lemon juice was even in the recipe. So flavor wise they were very nice, hence only 4 stars.
