About this Cook
I'm a professional flutist, living in the Washington, DC area. Besides playing music, I love to cook, decorate my new home, walk/run/hike, read, and work in the garden.
My favorite things to cook
Breakfast!!! Bacon, eggs, and toast has to be one of my favorite meals!
My favorite family cooking traditions
I really enjoy cooking traditional Sunday dinners like roast beef with potatoes, carrots, and onions.
My cooking triumphs
I've cooked Thanksgiving dinner just once, and it came off beautifully, except.... (see tragedies below)
My cooking tragedies
Lesson learned... do not cut up potatoes the night before! They turn gray, and there's nothing you can do about it, besides serving gray mashed potatoes!!! :)

Chewy Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Brownies
Good - not terribly sweet. I added chocolate chips, and feel this was essential - brownies wouldn't have been sweet at all without them. Nice, dense texture. I substituted almond extract for the vanilla, and wouldn't recommend this. The almond overpowered the natural peanut butter I used.

Old-Fashioned Italian Zucchini Fritters
Good, but the zucchini put off a lot of water after I added the egg, flour, and salt. Had to keep adding flour to absorb the excess moisture. Made the fritters a little flimsy, but still tasted good. Nice way to use up extra zucchini!
