About this Cook
I was born and raised in Charleston,SC. my mom taught me how to cook at an early age but i learned a great deal from my grandmother. i would sit in the kitchen and just watch her and i picked up quite well. being raised in the South, I consider myself to be a pretty good cook. I'm always opent o try new things!
My favorite things to cook
I actually like to bake more than cook. i like to experiment with new things, seasonings and flavors to know what combinations I like best.
My favorite family cooking traditions
my favorite family tradition is having the whole family for Thanksgiving and Christmas-Turkey, stuffing, and all of the fixin's :) Gives me a chance to really showcase my talents!

Chewy Red Raspberry Squares
these were very tasty! I wanted to try something a little different and this was perfect. I followed the directions to a "T" and they were perfect. I let mine cook for only 30 minutes and that was plenty enough-will definitely use again. thanks!!!

Easy Fried Eggplant
I wanted to eggplant since i had never had it before and this was delicious! i did my homework on eggplant before i even tried this. after i washed and peeled it, i soaked it in salt water for a few minutes. I drained and added seasoned salt and pepper. i also added wishbone ranch dressing to the egg and used italian seasoned breadcrumbs. i used enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan and they came out wonderful. I also used some ranch dressing for the dipping sauce. will be using this again-thanks for the post :)

Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie
this really hit the spot! I was just looking for a recipe for choc. chip cookies and came across this one. i used a 16" pizza pan, but I scaled the recipe down to 12 servings(i didnt want it to overflow)and it was plenty enough. I used semi sweet choc chips and white choc chips along with walnut chips and it was wonderful. I followed the suggestion of a user and lined the pan with foil and sprayed with Crisco flour/shortening spray. I put the dough in a ball on the foil and covered with parchment paper and rolled the dough out evenly with a rolling pin abt an inch from the edge of the pan. (You dont want to roll it all the way to the end or it will bake over the edge of the pan). I didnt have any problems at all with it sticking and it came out very nice and chewy- i even took a large biscuit cutter and made a few "sandwiches" with vanilla ice cream in the middle and froze for later-yummy!! thanks for the post :D
