About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
I love cooking warm soups and amazing Italian food.
My cooking tragedies
Making a cherry pie without pitting the cherries was a definite disaster and potential dentist's visit.

All-Star Apple Pie
Not bad at all for a 15 minute pie. I followed the recipe exactly. Only problem I could find is that there isn't nearly enough apples. Use a deep dish pie pan and double the apple pie filling and the cinnamon. The crumb topping is worthy of even the best homemade fruit pies. It's really good. If you can stand coconut at all, try to leave it in the recipe. It adds a unique crunchy taste to the pie that keeps things interesting. Definitely worth making when you're in a pinch for a dessert.

Shrimp Lemon Pepper Linguini
This is one of my boyfriend's favorite recipes. For him to comment is a big deal... he'll eat gravel and not notice. Make sure you double the sauce, half the pepper, and I used lemon pepper flavored linguini (American Italian Pasta Company). One of my favorites.

Best Toffee Ever - Super Easy
This recipe did not work for me. If you dare attemp to gamble away four bucks of butter: Make sure you buy the highest quality butter you can find. If the butter does separate, (mine did) make sure you use something to "sop" up the extra liquid. I never thought I'd use a turkey baster in making toffee, but I guess there's a first for everything. The chocolate still seized on top of the toffee because of the excess liquid. I stirred occasionally like the recipe said with no luck. I'm a good cook, and I couldn't pull this one off... good luck!
