About this Cook
I have cooked with my mom as far back as I remember. I have great memories cooking with my grandmothers and great-aunt. They were the greatest cooks. I am a vegetarian, but I enjoy cooking for my family of meat eaters. I am gradually trying to change to healthier and organic foods.
My favorite things to cook
Pizza most of all, enchiladas, tacos, french onion soup, breads, appetizers, chocolate desserts, cookies...
My favorite family cooking traditions
Homemade bread passed down from my Italian great grandmother. Making Christmas cookies with my kids.
My cooking triumphs
I can make a great pizza, better than any you can get from any pizzeria, well, at least most of them.
My cooking tragedies
Trying to make petit fours.

Simple Scones
These were suprisingly delicious. I was surprised because the dough was so sticky, I didn't think they would turn out at all. I would definitely add more flour on the board when I press them into the circle. I omitted the raisins and added frozen raspberries and white chocolate chips. That was a delicious combination. I baked them a few extra minutes. They turned out great and had a great flavor. I will be making these again.

Creamy Italian Dressing I
I followed this recipe exactly and it turned out really good. I was impressed, but my husband and I thought it was too sweet. The only thing I would change is to add a little less sugar, I might only add 2 teaspoons next time and see how that works.

Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce
This was so good, we absolutely loved it! Even my picky nine year old liked it and my one year old kept saying mmmm every time he took a bite. My husband said this morning it was so good that he dreamt about it. We can't wait to make this again. I didn't change much but added asiago cheese instead of romano and only one tablespoon of butter. I roasted my own peppers, I believe that is definitely better than the kind in the jar. I tossed this sauce with some linguine. So good!
