About this Cook
I grew up cooking. Anytime someone went into the kitchen to cook, I was right behind to help out. I have my Bachelor's degree in Culinary Management from Scottsdale Culinary Institute.
My favorite things to cook
I love comfort foods (but I hate to fry things). The thought of a warm bowl of chili on a cold autumn day is perfection.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Anytime family and good food are brought together is my favorite tradition.
My cooking triumphs
Several exotic international (mainly Asian or French) dishes at school.
My cooking tragedies
Again, several exotic international (mainly South American and Asian) dishes at school.

Albondigas Soup II
This recipe is really good. It didn't state it in the recipe, but I added about a teaspoon of salt to the meatball mixture because everyone knows you have to add salt to your protein or else it will be bland. I substituted dry bread crumbs and also doubled the amount because they felt too soggy and wouldn't hold their shape. To reduce some of the fat, I baked the meatballs on a cooling rack so the fat could drip onto a cookie sheet for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees F. I did everything else according to the recipe and I added 1 pound of dry red kidney beans as a bit of a filler.

Pumpkin Butter II
I have yet to make this recipe, but I have read SEVERAL reviews of many different pumpkin recipes where people are substituting fresh pumpkin. I would just like to remind everyone that the pumpkins you use for jack-o-lanterns have MUCH less flavor than the smaller sugar pumpkins, which are used specifically for cooking. Also remember, the larger the pumpkin, the more bland the flavor.

Asparagus and Mushroom Puff Pastry Pie
Very Good recipe! For those of you who are a little more health conscious, like myself, an alternative to frying the asparagus in butter would be to blanch them quickly just until tender or steam them for 5-7 minutes. The mushrooms still need to be sautéd, but I used about 2 Tbsp (I realise this may not seem like enough, but because mushrooms give off so much liquid 2 Tbsp is all you need) of olive oil to make it healthier. Getting rid of that butter should knock off at LEAST 100 calories.
