About this Cook

I grew up cooking quite a bit, and have always enjoyed following recipes and creating my own "concoctions."

My favorite things to cook

I love cooking just about anything. I really like casseroles - I grew up overseas and a lot of what they eat is "one-pot"-type dishes, so moving back to the states eating everything separate struck me (and still does) as bland and boring.

My favorite family cooking traditions

We have Friday night pizza night and game night at our house! Our kids are still too little to really be into it, but we wanted to start that tradition early on, and we have enjoyed it so much so far!

My cooking triumphs

Most of my cooking triumphs have been from recipes off this site - there are some delicious ones.

My cooking tragedies

I'm not too good at stir-fry (which doesn't make sense, since I grew up in Asia. Go figure). I also and not good at cooking plain meat. I can cook it IN stuff, just don't ask me for a steak or a chicken breast. I wouldn't know what to do. I'd love to learn my way around a grill.

California Grilled Veggie Sandwich

Yum-O! Added a few different veggies and served on fresh homemade focaccia. Very similar to the eggplant sandwiches on this site, which are a favorite of ours. I'll definitely make again!

Cajun Pasta Fresca

Everyone enjoyed this very much! I used regular tomatoes because that's what I had, and 1.5x the spice. The cheese was hard to stir in and got a little clumpy, so I added just a sprinkle of extra cheese on the top of everyone's bowl. Delicious and will make again! Served with fresh homemade focaccia bread.

Spanish-Style Quinoa

This was my first experience cooking quinoa. I made it to go with "Addictive Sweet Potato Burritos." I also made "Refried Beans without the Refry," but I did black beans and cooked them on the stove top (did not mash). I had all this wonderful spiced bean broth left over, so I used 1 1/2 cups of bean broth and 1 c. water in the quinoa. The flavor was excellent and I can see myself cooking a lot of quinoa in the future, as I really enjoyed the texture and pretty much everything about it. However, I found 2 1/2 c. liquid to be WAAAY too much. After 40+ minutes of simmering, there was still a LOT of liquid, and the quinoa was tender. I didn't want it to get mushy, so I drained it through a fine mesh sieve, then reheated it over med-high heat for a few minutes just to evaporate some of that leftover moisture. I don't know if this was caused by my use of bean broth, or if there really was just too much liquid. Either way, next time I'll try 2 c. liquid and see how that fares. Otherwise wonderful and everyone enjoyed it!
