I work for a global IT company by day and burn up the kitchen at night. (Hopefully not literally) Cakes, pasta, savory chicken/turkey/fish dishes, anything that requires pickling, and veggies veggies veggies. My favorite ingredients are cinnamon, vinegar, tomatoes, jalapenos, and onion. I come from a long line of German cooks...I love making anything with sausage, potatoes, or cabbage, and there's nothing better than something that's been pickled! My late grandmother, Marie, is my inspiration. My famous sweet and savory bbq meatballs, spicy vegetarian chili, chicken fajitas, baked jalapeno poppers, and my fabulous raspberry jalapeno jelly. First, last, and only attempt at stuffed bell peppers. They were terrible!
