About this Cook
Hi Ya'll! I love to cook, much like everyone else that loves this website! I LOVE cooking, but when I'm not doing that I work at ICNDF *International Canine Narcotics Detection Foundation* in FL. I love dogs, if I ever love a man half as much as I love my dog, he will be extremely lucky!
My favorite things to cook
Desserts, healthy stuff....italian. I love to bake, and everybody loves my sweet stuff!
My favorite family cooking traditions
I'm not big on traditions, but I like making Mississippi at Christmas time!
My cooking triumphs
I always feel great about anything my friends rave over, and I feel really great when I tell people I make my own Baklava, courtesy of this site:)
My cooking tragedies
Oh, my I have had some tragedies! When I was first starting to learn how to bake bread, I had it rising in the oven in a plastic bowl. In the meantime I decided to bake something, I preheated the oven, and I forgot about the bread and the plastic bowl. 15 minutes later I go to put my cookies in the oven and my plastic bowl had melted all over the place! My mom was so mad! 1 week later I did the same thing with a pyrex dish(the plastic top) I forgot to take off.!

London Broil II
Oh my, this was so good! We're big ribeye fans, so we always compare other cuts of beef to that. Both my kids enjoyed this better than a ribeye! It was so flavorful and tender. We followed the marinade recipe exactly and marinated overnite. We did use a meat tenderizer prior to marinating. Grilled it for 3 minutes on each side on high heat, then another 3 minutes on each side on lower heat. Sliced thin cross-grain and it was a huge hit for our Father's Day lunch!

Baked Teriyaki Chicken
I decided to try something new for my "Chicken Fried Rice" recipe. I used 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of the thighs. I used brown sugar instead of white, and I baked them in a 8x8" pan. Had I not been cutting this chicken into chunks and mixing it in my fried rice, I would have had to give this recipe 3 stars. The chicken was very tough, I'm not sure if it was the sauce or something else. I followed the instructions exactly, so I don't know what happened. The flavors in the sauce were great, and it was very easy to make. I will make this again, but only for my fried rice.

I have made this recipe four times now, and everytime it turns out great. I always put 3/4 cup of honey instead of 1/2, and I add raisins. After the bread is done, and baste it in butter and then sprinkle cinnamon sugar on the top. I like to either do a 5 or 6 strand braid, and then swirl the loaf into a circle. I have been using all purpose flour, but today I'm trying bread flour. We'll see how it turns out. Thanks for the recipe!
