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!

Gingerbread Waffles
Absolutely amazing. I served these at a brunch along side Cinnamon Belgian Waffles (also delicious!), and these blew all competition away. I served them with sliced ripe bananas and real whipped cream (as shown in the photo), but they are also outstanding with applesauce on top. My son (5 years old), devoured several without any topping. They taste like gingerbread that you would have for dessert. Very satisfying and just wonderful. I followed the recipe, but omitted the dry mustard and raisins. Neither were missed.

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!
