About this Cook
I am engaged to the most amazing man ever; I have two wonderful (feline) babies and a super supportive close-knit family. I love life.
My favorite things to cook
I really enjoy baking. I love sweets, so I love to try making different cookies and cakes. I also really enjoy making asian inspired dishes.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Adobo. It's one of the few Filipino recipes I actually do as well as my parents.
My cooking triumphs
Carrot cake cheesecake (not from this site). I usually make it for my fiance's birthday, but I've had requests from my family to make it at other times.
My cooking tragedies
Beef Loaf Deluxe from this site. Not sure what I did wrong, but the loaf shape didn't hold.

Peach Praline Muffins
This recipe makes really yummy muffins. I used frozen peaches and made ~30 mini muffins, and it turned out great. Be sure to not overfill the cups, otherwise the topping won't stay on properly. Very nice.

Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup with Cardamom
Making just a few changes to accommodate the vegetarian in my house and to tweak to our taste, this soup was easy to make and had a very nice balance of flavors. Changes: I used low sodium vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, increased cinnamon from 1/4 tsp to 1/2 tsp, added ~ 1/2 tsp each salt & fresh ground pepper, and added ~ 2 tsp sugar. Easy and tasty, but makes WAY more than 4 servings. It also does make a thicker soup, but the thickness fit the richness of the spices. The warm flavor was great for a chilly night and was soothing for the cold I had when I made it. Great recipe!

Cheese Ball I
So easy and so good! I added some white cheddar and onion powder as others suggested and added double the dried chives and garlic powder. I also used reduced fat cream cheese and replaced the mayo with nonfat plain yogurt to try cut calories.
