About this Cook
I live with my boyfriend in Queens and use him as my taste tester for all the recipes I find here.
My favorite things to cook
Cake, cookies, fudge, bread, chili, soup, pasta, casseroles
My favorite family cooking traditions
Scrambled eggs on Easter morning, pork chops and sauerkraut at New Year's, freezing hundreds of Christmas cookies and having Christmas in July. My mom taught me the art of a chewy snickerdoodle and how to make a good tomato sauce from scratch.

Chris' Kraut
Wow! I love traditional sauerkraut, but this recipe kicks it up a notch. I'm not one of those who loves bacon in everything, but it makes this dish. I used brown sugar to deepen the color, and I bought brown sugar cured bacon. I simmered it for about 40 minutes on the stove and added water as needed, but some of the bacon on the bottom got a little caramelized which really sent it over the top. I added about a tbsp of apple cider vinegar at the end just to balance out the sweet. BF and I loved it! Even better the next day!

Challah I
It may have been because I had just enough flour for 8 cups, and any remainder I had to add for stickyness, I used whole wheat (that's all I had). But it just tasted like really bad bread. It was nothing like challah, and the flavor was awful.

Chicken Marsala
This is a winner! I've tried to make chicken marsala before to no avail, and this was easy. I followed some advice and didn't add sherry, but I didn't add flour to the wine and it was rather thin. I just used plain old white mushrooms, grocery store-purchased Marsala and threw in a pinch of sugar with the wine because I like my marsala sweet. This is a new favorite!
