About this Cook

I am a wife and a mother of beautiful twin boys, homemaker, and recently went back to school. I love cooking, baking, nature, arts...I don't know what else to say...just busy busy busy! Any comments? plz write!: Mariamjamous@hotmail.com

My favorite things to cook

I love baking desserts mostly,but also love freestyle cooking...meaning to just improvise with what I have on hand.Usually,I'm pretty good at it!

My favorite family cooking traditions

I love that every Sunday, all the family gets together. We each bring some food as in a potluck dinner. We all sit and ejoy the food together. It is a great time to catch up with everyone, and try new foods. Usually, I am the one who brings desserts. I often bring more than one thing, since I love baking, I sometimes get carried away!

My cooking triumphs

When I made my very first decorated cake for my sister's engagement party,and it turned out great!And also my delicious samosa's that people seem to not get enough of!hehe :$

My cooking tragedies

hmmm...well, that was a very long time ago, when I was still very much a beginner and I had made a beautiful looking cake, So fluffy and golden, but when we tasted it,I found out I had mistakenly made it with salt instead of sugar!:'(

Chunky Potato Soup

Wow that was awesome! I did not measure anything. I added extra of everything. I didn't have butter so I used vergetable oil. I was afraid It would taste oily, so I added about1/4 cup sour cream to compensate for the absence of buttery flavor. I also dodn't have suisse cheese, so I added mozza-cheddar cheese. The kids absolutely looooved it, and so did I! Thank so much for that fabulous, delicious and easy recipe!

Mexican Lasagna

Followed exactly down to the corn tortillas, only I used chredded cheddar cheese instead due to what I had on hand. The taste is great, but honestly, I didn't like the corn tortillas in this much, and neither did my kids. They were too mushy for us. I will try again with flour tortillas. I think It would be much more consistent as a texture. Thanks for sharing!

Sweet and Sour Meatballs II

This made a lot, and it was a bit hard to fit all of them in my large skillet, let alone stir them! However, using tongs to turn them worked pretty well. I used about half the amount of sugar and it still came out way too sweet for our taste. The flavours were fabulous, and we all loved this over pasta, but I would decrease the sweetness some more next time. Thanks for sharing the recipe, it's a keeper after very little tweaking to our taste!
