About this Cook
I have two precious children, Danielle and Christopher. My children are 9 and 3 and keep me happily busy. My family has a history with food (my dad, grandparents, uncles, and great uncles all owned restaurants)...Maybe one day I will, too.
My favorite things to cook
Meat sauce and marinara sauce. I should submit my meat sauce recipe...but, I'm like Rachel Ray where I "eyeball" everything and just haven't written it down...I should, though!!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My grandma passed down her homemade macaroni and cheese recipe to me. She taught me how to make it just before she passed away, and now everyone wants me to make "Gramma's macaroni" because I'm the only one who knows how to make it. I'm so glad she and I were able to do that together!!! What a great memory for me.
My cooking triumphs
Created my own recipe for spicy curried pork loin with coconut milk. I LOVE IT :) My dad, who's a fantastic cook, really liked it, too.
My cooking tragedies
Souffles...they're impossible. I'm also a horrible baker. I use boxed cake mix and boxed brownie mix whenever possible. I've been known to clog some garbage disposals, as well.

Great Pumpkin Dessert
Basically, this is a pumpkin dump cake. Typically, I love dump cakes, but this recipe has a very unusual texture and consistency that didn't work for me or anyone in my family. The pumpkin, egg, and evaporated milk mixture was really "eggy" almost like a souffle or soft quiche. YUCK! But, the flavor was really bland, too! I served to my in-laws who are visiting from out of town and they ate it out of politeness, but at least we had a good laugh about it this morning. DON'T MAKE THIS DESSERT!!!!

Grandma's Chicken Noodle Soup
Grandma, this was fantastic and super easy for a home cooked, weeknight meal! Perfect for working moms and busy families. I didn't have any poultry seasoning, so I Googled a substitute and found this: for 1 teaspoon of poultry seasoning, substitute 3/4 teaspoon sage plus a 1/4 teaspoon blend of any of these: thyme, marjoram, savory, black pepper, and rosemary.
