About this Cook
I am a 50 something who had gourmet friends who pushed me to be a better cook cuz I had to keep up with them. My moment of joy was when they said that I am better than they ever were. Not sure I agree but it was so nice to hear.
My favorite things to cook
I love doing appetizers!! My husband has often said I should cater cocktail parties since my apps are always the first to go!!
My favorite family cooking traditions
I learned to cook from my mother-in-law (and learned to love to eat from my mother). She always loved having family dinners and so do I

Cute Egg Chicks
To all who had trouble cutting the eggs I have found a very simple solution that works wonders. I sliced the egg 1/3 way down from the narrow end. Took it apart and took the yolks out. I then used small scissors and cut the zig-zag pattern on each top. So easy and they don't fall apart. I also used peppercorns for the eyes and red pepper for the beak.

Deb's Scallops Florentine
ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!! Made this for company. Hubby said it was the best scallop dish I ever made. Elegant and delicious. Followed other's leads and did not parboil the scallops. Also used fresh spinach (sauteed in evoo and garlic) and gruyere cheese. Doubled the recipe and baked for 25-30 minutes. It is a must try if you want something fancy for dinner.

Chicken Breasts with Balsamic Vinegar and Garlic
FABULOUS!! My family loved this recipe. The only change I made was that after coating with flour, I coated the chicken in a bread crumb mixture. The sauce this makes is so good, I am thinking of what else I could make with this. Maybe pork medallions?? Thanks for a great recipe.
