About this Cook
I'm a stay at home mom of two preschoolers. In a prior life, I was an IT Business Analyst / Project Manager. I have loved cooking and baking for many, many years, and it makes me feel good to provide my family and friends good, healthy, yummy food.
My favorite things to cook
I love easy stuff, but will also get into 'projects' every so often, for a dinner party for instance. Some favorites are paella, garlic shrimp with pasta, lemon tarts and chocolate tarts too.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Christmas Day dinner - large roast of some sort with all sorts of veggies.
My cooking triumphs
Paella for a dinner party looks wonderful, smells amazing, and tastes divine!

Lemon Chiffon Cake
It was very good. My only negative, and it is slight, is that I expected it to be lighter and fluffier. It was not a dense cake, which was great, but I was expecting lighter. The taste was lovely, but I think that I will add lemon juice to the batter (and maybe to the frosting too) next time. Thank you!

Banana Oat Muffins
Love this recipe! I made a few changes, but mostly stayed true to the original. I added 1/2 cup Craisins, 1/2 cup chocolate chips, 1 tblsp ground flax, 1 apple (minced in the food processor), and reduced the oil to 1/4 cup. Delicious!

Cinnamon Belgian Waffles
Excellent recipe. These are easy and really delicious. Thank you! I ran out of buttermilk and substituted Half & Half - it was fine. I make extra and put them into the fridge or freezer. I then pop into the toaster, and my kids have Belgian Waffles any day they want them. They are great with Nutella on them too. And if you aren't into strawberries, you can make a healthy syrup out of any berry you have on hand - fresh or frozen. 1/4 cup fine sugar (regular sugar whipped in the blender). Then add (thawed) blueberries, or any other berry on hand. Blend until liquid. Tastes really great, and good for you too!
