About this Cook
It's a challenge to find a recipe for dinner that will please both the adults and the kids! It doesn't happen often,,but when it does...woo hoo!
My favorite things to cook
When we lived in Connecticut, there were several Mexican restaurants we loved. Here in the Toronto area, we haven't found many authentic Mexican joints. I've learned to whip up some amazing enchiladas and tacos to tide us over til we find the perfect spot.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My side of the family is french canadian, so when I found some recipes for tourtiere, it was a big hit among my parents.
My cooking triumphs
The chicken cordon bleu II is AMAZING! It was a HUGE hit with my husband, and it's easy with few ingredients. I've tried many recipe websites, and I always come back to allrecipes.com The feedback is tried and true, and extremely helpful.
My cooking tragedies
My mother never cooked, so I didn't learn how to until I got married. My poor husband had to endure many frozen burrito dinners until I got the hang of it!

Corn Chowder with Sausage
This was excellent! The only thing is,,I ended up draining the potatoes, therefore not having any "broth"! Stupid me. So I added chicken broth and had to boil it again..Think next time I'll boil in the broth. Very tasty! Thanks!

Pasta with Peas and Sausage
This was a definite hit at our house! I only made one modification. I made it thicker by mixing flour and milk,,It was great! Next time, I think I will substitute the sausage with prociutto..(I know that is spelled wrong..sorry!). But a great sauce..thanks!
