About this Cook
I am a 33 year old mother of 2 beautiful little girls 4 and 7. I married my hubby 10 years ago. I am a stay at home mom
My favorite things to cook
Italian food, My hubby is Italian so I learned to cook Italian food from his mom
My favorite family cooking traditions
We have Manicotti (pronounced Manigutt) for Christmas dinner and cheese and meat pies for Easter
My cooking triumphs
Learning to cook as good as my mother n law.
My cooking tragedies
When I first got married I made a bunch of mistakes, one I remember the most (hubby does to) was when a recipe called for red pepper I used red pepper flakes instead, needless to say our mouths were on fire. I was definately not a good cook at first.

All American Apple Pie
My hubby loves apple pie, I am not much of a baker when it comes to pies, anything else I can do. I loved how easy the crust was. My hubby said it was the best Pie he has ever had, he had 3 slices and couldnt stop eating it. I made it exactly as written, I was a little worried about the top crust, I should of looked at the reviews where it said the butter had to be cold. So it was a little doughy, but it was sooooo good anyway. I will be making this again as we have tons of apples from apple picking. I used 6 concord apples.

Italian Sausage, Peppers, and Onions
Wow this was awesome, I used chicken broth instead of wine, didn't have any on hand. Next time I am doubling the recipe.
