About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
I love seafood so my favorite recipe is shrimp and/or sea scallops wrapped in bacon and coated w/BBQ sauce and then grilled. EXCELLENT!! I also love steamed Maryland crabs!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Every New Years Eve my husband prepares a feast that starts early in the day while preparing the food that will last thru the evening usually consisting of a mix of seafood and beef; only one requirement for the evening, all food must be GRILLED. We start w/shrimp and/or scallops wrapped in bacon then smothered w/BBQ sauce; then main course of lobster tails and filet mignon. Since we don't "do" New Years Eve out, we usually invite a few good friends over for the festivities!
My cooking tragedies
At age 20 and not having much experience in the kitchen, I baked my first 2 whole chicken upside down, yikes!

Wonderful Short Ribs
This recipe is very easy and delicious! I followed the advice and first browned the short ribs in the oven for 1/2 hr. at 475, then added 2 cloves of fresh garlic, and a 15 oz. can of Rotel tomatoes to the sauce, then put it all in the crock pot for 4 hrs. on hi. Meat was very tender and flavorful!

Caesar Salad Supreme
Best Caesar salad recipe I've found. I cut the anchovy fillets to 4, let the dressing sit a few hours in the refrig and added some grated Parmesan cheese to finished product. I have made at least a dozen times and love it topped with grilled chicken!

Salmon Spread I
Excellent, easy to prepare and a crowd pleaser! I used Old Bay for the seafood seasoning (a must in your spice cabinet on the Delmarva peninsula)! I used whipped cream cheese and I let it sit for a few hours before serving like the other readers suggested.
