Me and my man
About this Cook
My boyfriend, cat and I are currently living in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I love to cook, I love to bake and Martha Stewart is my idol.
My favorite things to cook
My favorite things to cook are Italian dishes- that's my background- and I just love it. I love pasta and pizza. I also love to bake breads and cookies and cakes.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mother is a great cook and could make anything, my dad wasn't so bad either. But I've started my own traditions now that I'm married although I do borrow from my mom's repetiore.
My cooking triumphs
I made a snowman cake borrowed from the Martha Stewart Catalog for Living. I bought the mold from the catalog and spent all of Christmas day making the cake and it came out great. I was so proud of it.

Gingerbread Waffles with Hot Chocolate Sauce
I didn't like these at all. I love the taste of gingerbread normally but these were too heavy with the taste of molasses. The batter was heavy too. I could barely finish one because of the heaviness and sweetness, I can only imagine what they'd be like with the chocolate sauce.

Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes
This was a great recipe. Very easy to make and frost. If I made them again I would cut the frosting in half because I don't like my cupcakes over-frosted. All in all in was a perfect recipe, no changes needed to be made.

Zucchini Brownies
Ok these are awesome! At first when I took them out of the oven, I took a whiff of them and I smelled zucchini and chocolate which was a little disconcerting. I used Chocolate Frosting I, for the frosting because I had used it before and I find it's easy to make and tastes great. I just finished a brownie and you can't taste the zucchini at all, but the fact that I know it's there makes me feel good because not only am I eating a delicious dessert, but I'm getting some more veggies into my diet.
