About this Cook
I am currently the Norfolk Cooking Examiner, so come check out my articles! :) http://www.examiner.com/x-4180-Norfolk-Cooking-Examiner
My favorite things to cook
Chicken because of its versatility; seafood; fatty, cheese-filled Italian dishes; homemade mac and cheese; cookies
My favorite family cooking traditions
1 word: PORK. Every Christmas, my grandmother makes her famous lasagna, meatballs, sausage and pork. I've never seen a huge, loud Italian family be so very quite at the dinner table...except when we're fighting over the last piece of pork.
My cooking triumphs
My famous cheesecakes to which I will never give out the recipes to. Sorry people.
My cooking tragedies
Thanksgiving Day, cutting into the pumpkin pie to find the crust on the bottom totally raw when it had not been a few hours earlier! Can a pie crust just uncook itself?

Cream Puffs
Outstanding! The pudding is what makes this recipe. I followed the other reviews and poked a small hole in the pastry after taking it out of the oven. I piped them with the pudding and topped them with a homemade Bittersweet Chocolate Sauce. I could eat these everyday.

Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread
Absolutely fantastic. It was moist and flavorful...definitely my go-to recipe from now on. I can't wait to make it again with some additions (maybe jalapenos, cheese or green onion).

French Bread Rolls to Die For
Good recipe but, for my taste, it seemed to be lacking in the salt department. Next time I make it, I'm going to make a sponge to give it more of a crusty outside and soft, tangy inside and add another teaspoon of salt. In the original recipes, I used olive oil instead of vegetable oil. Really easy recipe though...thank!
