From The Blog:  I love this site but...
About this Cook
I love allrecipes. It's my go-to-site for everything I cook or bake. I have a problem with reviewers that completely change a recipe then review it. Sometimes giving it a bad review. Hello, YOU made the changes! I can understand doubling or halving a recipe but altering ingredients make it a whole different recipe.
My favorite things to cook
I do not eat desserts but i love to bake for others. If I had to pick a favorite thing to cook it would be pasta.
My favorite family cooking traditions
When my mother was alive we would all get together every Wednesday for dinner but every week was someone elses turn to cook.
My cooking triumphs
I have several "signature dishes" that I have made up over the years.
My cooking tragedies
I am terrible at making instant mashed potatoes. I don't know why because the directions are so simple. Its a shame too because I love them.

Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus
My oldest son ate most of them. I baked them a little longer because we like our prosciutto and asparagus really crispy. I tripled the recipe so we had left overs so I wrapped extras in foil and refridgerated them. Every 10 minutes I heard the foil being unwrapped, my son ate the rest cold!

Cucumber Sandwiches III
Really good! Make sure the bread is fresh. I only mixed with a fork but I will mix with a blender next time. I think it will make a difference. I will also make a sandwich with regular bread for anytime during the week for the kids and stuff.

Marinade for Steak I
I am reviewing this for my 15 year old son since he is the only one who ate it. I made 2 steak and he ate them both before I got a chance to taste them! I will be making this again so that I might be able to get a bite next time.
