About this Cook
Single mother of one great teenager. I love to cook. I believe my love for cooking stemmed from my mothers lack of cooking ability and my grandmothers absolutely wonderful authentic russian cooking. I am Russian and Puertorican so my food taste varies. In fact, I pretty much love almost every food and am very open to trying new foods.
My favorite things to cook
Gandule (red rice) Rice, potato salad, meatloaf, homemade bread, borscht, beer butt chicken.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Gandule rice, borscht, Ikra, Meatballs and mashed potatoes.
My cooking triumphs
Any meal that makes my son say "Mom that was really good." Could you honestly hear better words?
My cooking tragedies
Cakes...um I'll go buy an ice cream cake before I'll try to make another one.

Awesome Slow Cooker Pot Roast
This a great recipe and easy to cut in half. I season the beef with kosher salt and cayenne pepper as my husband is from Louisiana and likes spice, as do our kids. I lightly flour the roast and brown it in olive oil to seal in the juices and flavor. This is an important step and it only takes a couple minutes. The only change was I added a tbsp of worstershire. I serve over white rice, mashed potatoes or a baked potato. Thanks for an easy great recipe.

Texas Pork Ribs
For the people who say the recipe is too salty...DO NOT USE TABLE SALT. Always use Kosher salt or Sea Salt. Thank you so much for a wonderful rub recipe. Like most people I didn't have the patience to make the sauce. I didnt have paprika so I substituted it with chili powder and added about 3 times more cayenne than called for. Marinated for 24 hours and then baked them on 275 in a convection oven covered with foil for 3 hours. At 2.5 hours I poured 1 can of beer over the ribs (cuz I was worried they were going to be too spicy). Recovered and baked for another 1/2 hour. Then to the charcoal grill. I added a tablespoon of liquid smoke to sweet Baby Rays bbq sauce and basted the ribs. Cooked on 225 for about 30 mins. basting every 5-7 mins and flipping. The meat fell of the bone. The rub is absolutely delicious. As written not spicy at all.

Banana Bread V
This makes a very moist banana bread. I followed the directions only adding 1/2 teaspoon each of cinnamon and cloves and vanilla. I omitted the walnuts because I didn't have any. My baking tin was a 8x4 so I made one loaf and one pan of 12 mini muffin cups. The muffin cups cooked for 35 mins and the loaf cooked for 50 mins. Very moist and very yummy. Thank you.
