About this Cook
Hi I'm Traci; I'm married to a wonderful man and I'm lucky to have two awesome boys! Cooking is a passion of mine probably because I love good food!.. Since I quit working a few years ago I'm cooking more. There really isn't a cuisine that I dont like; I enjoy trying new types of food and new recipes. I would love to go to culinary school and learn more if I ever have the opportunity; I do think I'm a good cook but there's always room for improvement. I enjoy photography and taking pictures of my food; the best part of cooking for me is when others enjoy eating n it!
My favorite things to cook
My boys have some favorites they like me to cook: Chicken enchiladas are in our usual rotation along with their other favorites, burgers, pizza and fries... My hubby and I have a more grown up taste and enjoy recipes like Chicken Marsala, Chicken Piccata on angel hair pasta and Cioppino. Everyone in the house agrees that cheesecake is the desert we prefer! :)
My favorite family cooking traditions
Whoever's birthday it is gets to pick their favorite dinner...
My cooking triumphs
Cooking all the food for my sister-in-law's baby shower...
My cooking tragedies
I forgot the garlic bread under the broiler and went upstairs to get ready for company; the smoke alarm was blaring when they arrived!..

Cilantro Tabouli
I just got a little taste of this and it's delicious! I'm sure it will be wonderful with our chicken kebabs for tonights dinner. This was my first time making tabouli. I acually used wheat berries which are harder and take longer to cook; next time I will buy the bulgur wheat. I skipped the cumin added some cucumber anda little mint because I have it growing wild in my yard; I also used some grape tomatoes that I sliced, it looks beautiful with all the bright colors! Thank you!

Whole Wheat Banana Nut Bread
I can't be really objective since our family doesn't like the taste of "whole wheat" but I had a whole bag that needed to be used up!.. I added 1/4 cup brown sugar to sweeten it up more to our liking. I also added walnuts.

Apple Snicker Salad
I had this years ago so I was happy to find this recipe again! A good option here for taste and presentation, swirl some caramel around a pretty glass before adding the ingriedients.. (caramel apple) :)
