About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook seafood dishes and anything Italian. I also like to make desserts for parties.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom is the best cook! Everything she makes, from eggplant parmigiana to roast turkey with stuffing and homemade gravy is the best. She can bake anything, and we hade homemade desserts all the time growing up. It's a miracle that none of us are overweight!
My cooking triumphs
I rarely invent my own recipes, but I am very good at tweaking recipes to make them better. People request my crab dip over and over. I make a very good seafood pasta dish, and everyone loves my pulled pork recipe. I like to take bits and pieces from recipes, add my own twist, and create something different. Anytime my father-in-law asks for a recipe it's my biggest triumph because he was a pro baker and awesome cook!
My cooking tragedies
Too many to list! From undercooked stuff to overcooked stuff to stuff that just plain tasted bad!

Slow Cooker Italian Beef for Sandwiches
This was good but not spectacular. I expected a lot more flavor in the meat, and it just wasn't there.

Southern Style Thanksgiving Green Beans
Delicious! I made these for our son's graduation party and everyone loved them. I only cooked them for a couple of hours though or they would have been way too soft for our taste.

Panzanella Panini
So glad I checked my email before lunch! This recipe came in the Daily Dish today, and I had all the ingredients on hand. In less than 10 minutes I was eating this delicious sandwich with fresh tomatoes and basil from my garden. Excellent proof that the best food is fresh and simple!
