About this Cook
I adore cooking and baking and look at every day as a new chance to create a delicious, memorable meal. I am convinced that I can make any dish into a healthy one! Cooking is such a special part of my life and I take such pride in cooking great meals for my boyfriend and someday, for my family.
My favorite things to cook
Desserts, healthy organic meals, slow cooker recipes, stir fry, pasta dishes, veggie dishes, Italian food, I want to try Chinese....bring it all!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Italian food, slow cooker recipes, special Christmas cookie recipes, cakes and cake decorating....
My cooking triumphs
On a whim, I once made pasta with squash, broccoli, and mushrooms with olive oil, garlic salt, and Parmesan cheese, my boyfriend loves it and it is a much requested dish! It is definitely now a classic.
My cooking tragedies
Ill-timed chicken tenderloins and carrots in the oven...shriveled beyond recognition!

Hot Artichoke and Spinach Dip II
I took this to a baby shower and it was a hit! I used fat free or low fat eveything, and it doesn't taste any less delicious because of all the yummy spices. Awesome recipe!

Quinoa and Black Beans
Great, flavorful meal! I did not have cumin or cayenne pepper, so I used 1 tsp. Emerill's Southwestern Spice instead. This is a keeper!
