About this Cook
I'm a biologist who loves to cook (but unfortuantely don't have a lot of time or money to really dive into it!)
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake anything and try to keep most things pretty healthy because I like to eat too! I need to keep things quick and easy but I like to cook anything breakfast-y, Italian, Greek, curries, soups, vegetarian...
My favorite family cooking traditions
Making Thanksgiving turkey dinner with my mom, very traditional and an all day event. My most favorite meal!
My cooking triumphs
Making a tiropita that my Greek boyfriend likes better than his mom's.

Penne with Asparagus and Mushrooms
I improvised on this and it was great! I added red bell pepper and used tomato paste and chicken broth since I didn't have canned tomatoes. To cut down on the fat, I used less oil, and added light sour cream, skim milk, and a little heavy cream. Very easy to lighten this up!

Mexican Tinga
This was really good! I used maybe 2 chipotle peppers and some sauce and also made rice to give people options. In addition to just eating it with warm corn tortillas, it was good with rice added to the tortillas and just on top of rice. Will be making again!

Fish Chowder
I made this with mahi mahi and added a can of chopped clams. I came up short on the clam juice so I made up the volume with fat free half and half, and used just 1 can of milk. Definitely add lots more Old Bay...will make again, was a big hit with friends!
