About this Cook
I was recently married, September 2, 2007, and am loving learning to be a good wife!! I try to cook as often as I can, but have quite a fast paced life right now and only get to do it once a week or so.
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook anything with PASTA! My fav!!! I use mostly chicken, as it's a healthier alternative, but I'm sure my husband would prefer I use more red meat! I've recently starting to experiment a little with roasts and fish and I love it! It's fun expanding...my recipe box and not my waistline of course!
My favorite family cooking traditions
We have a baking day every year for Christmas! We make little platters for all the neighbors and our friends and family!
My cooking triumphs
I make a mean Carrot Cake with from scratch Cream Cheese frosting!!!
My cooking tragedies
I haven't screwed anything up too badly, yet :) although I do tend to forget the bread when I warm it in the oven...oops!

Oranged Cranberry Sauce
So DELICIOUS!!! I did have to simmer for closer to 2 hours,but I think that's because you don't need to add the full 2 cups of water (hold the cranberries down with your hand while pouring the water so that you can really see how much you need). It was so heavenly...It's now the cranberry sauce of my family's thanksgiving and christmas dinners :)

Risotto with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Mozzarella
All in all I thought the flavor was delicious. I'm pretty sure that I followed the recipe to a "T" but somehow or another it ended up taking about 90 minutes to cook the rice! I will try this again, as it did turn out really tasty in the end, I'll just make a couple adjustments! Thanks for the recipe!

Pile of Prawns
This is so delicious and totally simple!! Only one change...DON’T use as much salt as the recipe calls for – it’s way too much!!! Just use to taste. Also, it's excellent if you pour the oil and butter from the pan over some Orzo Pasta (the one that looks like rice) and serve that along with the Prawns! Thanks for the recipe!!
