Spaghetti with shrimps and cream
Me!
About this Cook
I'm a 29 year old secretary at full-time and housewife. We are two at home, me and my boyfriend, so I'm always trying to cook delicious meals for us. I cook since I was 12 and I love to. I like to discover day to day meals of other countries, try new flavours and surprise my bf with my cooking.
My favorite things to cook
I'm an expert on cooking lasagna and spaghetti and all kinds of pastas, I'm always experimenting. A lot of portuguese dishes too that I will share with you, as Cod fish with cream, simply delicious!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Well there are not really traditional dishes in the family, maybe Cod fish dishes that are one of the more important meals in Portugal.
My cooking triumphs
Once I made a difficult afrodisiac dishe with chicken and cheese and a lot of other ingredients and it was so good I couldn't believe I did it.
My cooking tragedies
My tragedy in cooking, one of them at least, happened when I was a 13 year old student that had made her lunch, some beef with fries and I forgot the frying pan and the fire on and suddenly there was a column of fire in the kitchen. Fortunately it was only a damaged pan and the walls needing some painting, thanks to my dog that warned me in time. And once there was a beef with too moustard on the sauce too . Hehe

Glazed Meatloaf II
This wonderful,was my dinner and both me and my hub loved it. It fell apart but I should have addded more breadcrumbs. I used Dijon because I don't have dry moustard, the rest I made it as the recipe indicates. Some of you complainted about the onions I decided to sauté them first in some olive oil and after that I drained the oil in kitchen towel, than I mixed the oil-free onion with the ground meat. It tasted wonderfuly and I'll make it over and over...with more breadcrumbs

Tomato Chicken Parmesan
I tried this chicken parmesan, it was the first time I cooked it as well as the first time I ate ii and I loved it. I've just added some oregons on the cheese and some parmesan on the tomato sauce. I think that It would be be better if only made with chicken breasts stakes because it gets too heavy and a little dry with the breasts halves (maybe the chicken breasts I used were too big). Besides that I found it very delicious!
