Me
About this Cook
I enjoy exchanging recipes and talking about cooking with others who share the passion. I don't get a chance to cook much, but when I do, it turns out fairly well. I don't eat any meat, but that doesn't hesitate me from cooking it for others!
My favorite things to cook
I love cooking appetizers, Italian food and dishes for parties or special occasions.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mother is mexican and my father is italian. So when it comes to those cuisines I am very picky. I enjoy the holiday cooking the most. I get ready weeks in advance!
My cooking triumphs
I have had great reviews with the Field Salad and Basil Parmesan spread from this website. My sisters love my breakfast potatoes with scrambled eggs!
My cooking tragedies
I once tried to make sourdough from scratch(without a bread machine) didn't turn out too well....

Chocolate Dipping Sauce
All I can say is MMMMMM! This dipping sauce is a lot like chocolate pudding. I used fat free evaporated milk and added more as needed. Without the extra milk, it has a dark chocolate taste which is much too bitter for me. I served this with strawberries, bananas, angel food cake and graham crackers. One guy said "Now this is classy!" A must for any chocoholic.

Hot Spiked Cider
I tried this for Thanksgiving 2006. I made it in the slow cooker while everyone was out of the house. I used Tazo brand Sweet Orange Spice Tea. It was so delicious, I had at least 3 cups by the time everyone returned home. Because of the children I left out the rum. But I have no hesitation adding it next time. I bet it's even better with it!

White Berry Pie
WOW. Very good. I decided to make this for Easter and bring to the family gathering. I did make some minor changes though. I used low fat ingredients whenever possible, including the grahmn cracker crust and cream cheese. I also sliced the strawberries into rounds and layered them on top. When I was mixing it, the batter was quite stiff and hard to mix. But after chilling for a few hours I think the berry juice softend it a bit & was a bit jiggly.
