About this Cook
I love food. I love eating it, I love preparing it, I love sharing it.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Favorite family cooking tradition would have to be the black eyed peas with a ham shank served over rice that we've eaten every New Year's Day for as long as I can remember. I recently added a pot of mixed greens (collard, mustard & turnip) and a side of cornbread to the mix. My mom use to serve it w/her homemade coleslaw, but I'm not a huge fan of coleslaw unless it's from KFC.

Baked Potato Skins
These were good. We used left over carne-asada instead of bacon. The parmesan-oil mix really gave the potatoes good flavor. We'll definitely make it again.

Spinach Lentil Soup
My brother & I (both meat-eaters) liked the soup. My daughter (the vegetarian) thought it was bland. We added a couple cloves of minced garlic to it. The soup smelled amazing while cooking. I thought it was good. I think a bit of hominy would have added some texture and I would like to try adding a bit of smoked turkey next time. And maybe some collared greens instead of spinach.

Garlic Butter Shrimp
I tried this, but wasn't very pleased with it. I make something similar that calls for salt, parsley and less lemon. I love my version, but this one was a miss for my family.
