About this Cook
Married and the mother of three teenage boys who are very active and play sports. Everyday, I am running here and there, always on the go. I love to watch my sons play sports and I also enjoy fishing, crocheting and of course, cooking.
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake and make desserts. Family and friends always look forward to my desserts. I not much of a pie person but if one is requested I'll attempt it.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mother never liked to cook and she sometimes would ask me,"How did you ever learn to cook and bake because I never taught you". Well, when I was little I used to hang in the kitchen with my grandmom who lived next door to us. I would watch her bake and cook and I have many memories of her teaching me. When it comes to Thanksgiving, I use her stuffing recipe every year and my brother (God rest his soul) would say, "this is grandmom's recipe, isn't it"?
My cooking triumphs
I really can't think of a particular triumph, I feel a sense of accomplishment when my family tells me, "hey mom, that was really great".
My cooking tragedies
When I first got married, I was broiling a steak in the oven and the oven started to smoke. I got scared and ran for my husband who was taking a shower. He grabbed a towel and ran slipping and sliding on the floor but thank heavens everything was ok, just a little well done steak (Yuk).

Breaded Toasted Ravioli
These were just ok, I think the next time I'll deep fry them. I think that the taste was not as good baked vs. fried. I know that I should stick to healthy, but this one just needed to take a bath in hot oil!!

Brooklyn Girl's Penne Arrabiata
I am ashamed of myself that I had this recipe in my recipe box for the past 3 Years and never tried it until today. It was incredible, everyone loved it and the next time, I am going to double the recipe because the five of us left the bowl empty!! I made it exactly and sprinkled a little fresh parsley and fine mozzarello on top. They requested a side order to go with tomorrow's meal. Thanks for sharing.

Melt-In-Your-Mouth Meat Loaf
Wow, this meatloaf came out so moist. I did have to double all the ingredients because I had 3lbs of meat and it did take a little longer but well worth the wait.
