About this Cook
I love to cook! The best part is when folks ask for seconds. Then I know it's a success!
My favorite things to cook
Traditional, family foods. Nothing too fancy, but hearty and healthy. I love to experiment and luckily my husband isn't a picky eater.
My favorite family cooking traditions
All day cooking events for big holiday dinners. Ethnic foods from my grandparents were made growing up and are still my favorite comfort foods.
My cooking triumphs
Getting confident enough to experiment on my own and not needing measuring cups/spoons. Learning to go off instinct of what tastes good/how long to cook/how much to add, etc.
My cooking tragedies
Not listening to my gut instinct on a recipe and being disappointed in the results.

Mustard Glazed Corned Beef
Since I had a point cut of corned beef, I trimmed as much of the fat as possible before cooking. I used only maybe a scant teaspoon of the spice and it was plenty pungent enough for us. Instead of corn syrup, used honey and brown mustard; didn't bother with the boiling. Did not take long to broil up. The meat was very tender and flavorful, the glaze gave just the right sweet/tart.

Apple Cider Biscuits
These really baked up quite pretty. Tall and flaky; just slightly sweet.

Shrimp Fettucine Alfredo
This was so easy and so incredibly good. One of the fastest, simplest dinners I have made in a while.
