About this Cook
Married mother of two, with seven cats; work as an animator/3d artist; play video games when I'm not cooking; ebay junkie; love to read and bargin shopping.
My favorite things to cook
Wouldn't call it my favorite, but my most common thing is chicken. We eat chicken roughly five times a week, so in order to keep things interesting I sometimes change up my common recipes.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Thanksgiving is a blast for me - I love cooking, and I have both my husband's and my own family over for the day. Lots of food, lots of eating!
My cooking triumphs
White chicken chili (can't make enough of this!)
My cooking tragedies
Meatloaf with olives (husband finally has stopped complaining - 23 years after the fact!)

Italian Cream Cheese and Ricotta Cheesecake
This is MY grandmother's recipe, too! I was just handed this recipe from my mother, who decided of the five of her daughters, I was the only one qualified to get my grandmother's recipe book! Awesome cheesecake - but I leave it in the oven for 3 hours (don't even open it!) after it's cooked, then leave on the counter for another two hours, then chill it. And, to avoid a split top, bake the cheesecake inside of a shallow pan with about an inch of water. Keeps the cake moist and it won't crack!

Artichoke and Black Olive Baked Chicken
LOVED THIS ONE! The whole family ate every last bite and had been bugging me to make this again - I substituted boneless, skinless chicken breast and added an extra few tsp's of olive oil, but otherwise kept to this recipe. No one thought it would taste good, but these flavors combined are very good. Always looking for that 'new' chicken dish to liven things up, and this one was a total success!
