About this Cook
I love to cook and have often thought I should have gone to culinary school. My biggest cooking influence is my mother she is really a good cook, but I look up to my brother who has never used a recipe in his life....he cooks by taste; a little of this and that and it is always amazing. I cook almost every night for my family. My true passion is entertaining. I secretly want to be Martha Stewart...he he!!
My favorite things to cook
I like good soup and hearty meals. I also love to come across a good apetizer recipe. I recently purchased a bread machine and have really enjoyed using it. I'm not baking so much now that my daughter is doing a lot of it around here.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Baklava every Christmas. It looks like you spent all day in the kitchen, but it is a snap! My dad made stuffing every holiday. It is still the best I have ever tasted with apples and raisons. YUMMY!
My cooking triumphs
I will try anything, once! I made that italian dish they always talk about on Everybody Loves Raymond. It was time consuming, but interesting to make. I always say if you can follow a recipe you can be a good cook. Teaching my daughter the love of cooking and baking. When I'm out of town she actually gets a hot meal on the table and can even make home made bread. I'm so proud of her. She will be making all the pies for Thanksgiving dinner this year.
My cooking tragedies
The biggest one is a recipe for brussel sprouts that you steamed than cooked in a jelly of some sort. I didn't think I was steaming them long enough. They were raw! Very dissapointing side dish to a Thanksgiving meal!

Asian Carryout Noodles
I agree with a previous reviewer that this is a really good base recipe. I followed exactly except I didn't add extra salt and I had no green onions. Next time I will add a lot more veggies to the mix. This really is a budget friendly meal. 2 chicken breast and a pound of pasta to feed 4 BIG eaters! It doesn't get much better than that. Thanks for sharing. I will make this again.

Lime Chicken Soft Tacos
This was EXCELLENT! I can not believe that this has been sitting in my box for a year and I haven't made it. I did not change a thing. Very good. This will go into the menu rotation. Thanks for sharing.

Baked Teriyaki Chicken
I'm on the fence about this one. The flavor of the sauce was spot on. It was the baking of it that I think I'm not a big fan of. I think I would like this on the grill better. I may try it again that way. Thanks for sharing.
