About this Cook
Married to a great guy who loves to eat!
My favorite things to cook
I love cooking Italian & Irish dishes since I grew up in a predominantly Italian/Irish neighborhood. I also love baking desserts!
My favorite family cooking traditions
I have my grandmother's recipe book filled with recipes from the early 1900s. They are SOOOO GOOD!
My cooking triumphs
I make some killer carrot cake....and this macaroni salad that is always a hit at any party.
My cooking tragedies
I, for the life of me, can not do breaded chicken. (Update: It took a friend from Italy coming to the states to teach me this, but I have since perfected it!)

Summer Corn Salad
This was a great summer bbq corn salad. I did take everyone's advice and scaled back on the onion as I didn't want it overpowering the taste. Based on my guests reviews of the salad, that was a good decision to do. I also added a little bit more olive oil than what the recipe called for as well. Delicious, fresh, and crisp. Great if you are looking for a cold veggie salad to serve this summer. This will become a staple at my bbqs from now on!

Original Nestle(R) Toll House(R) Chocolate Chip Pan Cookie
Delicious! I did 3 different kinds of chips: semi-sweet chocolate, milk chocolate, and butterscotch. It adds a deliciously sweet taste to it. The center was VERY chewy, but that is how we like it. If you aren't a fan of the chewy, then you'll need to modify this somehow.

Hot Cocoa Mix in a Jar
This is a great recipe, as well as great for gift-giving! I ended up giving out individual servings instead of doing it in a jar. Went to Michael's and got those cellophane candy bags, cut the tops off, filled each bag with a heaping 1/3 cup. Also added marshmellows and those white chocolate peppermint baking chips as they melt very quickly in hot liquid, while giving it a minty flavor. Tied the bag with a festive ribbon, and they make great single-serve holiday gifts for friends and coworkers. They just the entire contents in the cup. Very tasty recipe! Also, I for the non-dairy creamer, I used a flavored one like Caramel Vanilla, and for the chocolate drink mix I used Ghiradelli's Sweetened Cocoa instead as I feel it gives it more flavor than something like Quick drink mix. I also made chocolate covered spoons to mix into the cocoa (or even coffee).
