About me:
 I'm Vietnamese but born and raised in the US. I grew up with a large family where everything revolved around food and keeping the Vietnamese cuisine going. My extended family gets together every weekend to have dinner. I have always helped in the kitchen, but now that I'm married, I get to be the head cook and I'm loving it! It's been fun trying new things and trying to recreate all the yummy meals my mom and aunts make.

Best Steak Marinade in Existence

Reviewed on Jun. 23, 2009 by Denise Davis 
I cut the recipe back a bit, since i was only marinating one rather large chunk of steak. I used real minced garlic instead of dried, and added a 1/2 cup of Merlot. Whisked it all together in a bowl and poured over steak in gallon-freezer bag, marinated 1 1/2 days. Cooked in the oven. I never got to taste it, but my son ate the entire piece of meat (enough for 3 people). He literally couldn't stop going back for more! Next time I will get to try it too. No need to look any further for a marinade recipe this is it!! Thanks SO much for this great recipe.

Giant Crisp Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed on Jun. 23, 2009 by Denise Davis 
If you're looking for a buttery crispy chocolate chip cookie, this is it!!! I'm so happy to find a recipe that makes them like this, every time. This is my favorite way to eat a choc.chip cookie. I used 1 3/4cp flour, 1/2 tsp salt, used mini chips and cooked for 13 minutes. Then for the second half of the dough, made the drops of dough smaller, and added some chopped pecans, cooked for 12 minutes. These are wonderful, and for my personal taste, the PERFECT chocolate chip cookie! Yay :+)

Chocolate Velvet Ice Cream

Reviewed on Jun. 16, 2009 by Denise Davis 
Soooooo rich and creamy!! I used 2 cps heavy cream & 2/3 cp half/half. I increased the cocoa powder to a 1/2 cp for a more intense chocolate flavor. Also added 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 2 Tb of Kahlua. I finely-grated Ghiradelli Dark Chocolate Bar into icecream mixture in the last 5 minutes of churning. If eaten like softserve it tastes like chocolate mousse with a more subtle chocolate flavor. When frozen more firmly the next day all the rich flavors of cocoa, cinnamon, and Kahlua blend together for an unbelievably smooth and creamy treat!
