1st Anniversary!
About this Cook
I'm recently married and also recently graduated from college (Yeah!) so I'm starting to have more free time to try out all the awesome recipes I have found here over the last couple of years!
My favorite things to cook
Anything really that my family enjoys. For some reason, people think of me as the dessert specialist so I am always asked to bring pies, cakes, cookies, etc. to family functions
My favorite family cooking traditions
Holidays with my mom learning all her secrets because she never followed a recipe (and now neither do I) and she also had all of her favorite ones stored in her head rather than a recipe box!
My cooking triumphs
I Love to take a recipe and modify it according to my tastes. If I do that with one I find on allrecipes.com I always make sure to say so in the review. I don't think it's fair to judge a recipe harshly if it has been changed!
My cooking tragedies
I haven't had any tragedies yet, but I'm sure there will come a day when I update this section!

Almond Sole Fillets
I would never microwave fish but I liked the ingredients so I used the oven version of this. I toasted the almonds in a pan with crisco cooking spray before I baked the fish at 375 for 20 minutes like other reviewers stated. In the future, I will start checking the fish at 15 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets. I did love the taste and so did everyone else, even though I reduced the amount of butter ;o) I doubled the dill weed and paprika and used garlic salt instead of regular salt. Next time, I might use creole seasoning instead of or maybe in addition to the paprika for a little extra kick :o)

Crispy Cucumbers and Tomatoes in Dill Dressing
This is great when made with fresh from the garden ingredients in the summer. A dish is only as good as the sum of it's parts :o) I probably wouldn't make this in the winter since the tomatoes need to be prime. I doubled the ground pepper and dill weed and used olive oil as many other reviewers did. I also used green onion but this would be great with vidalia or red onion as well. After letting it sit 15 minutes as the recipe describes, I tasted it and decided to add garlic salt. We really enjoyed this and I will definitely make it again.

Creamy Dill Dipping Sauce
Awesome recipe! I used Greek yogurt in place of the sour cream to save a few calories. I also used 2 tsp dried dill although I bet it would be even more flavorful with fresh! As per other reviews, I added 1/2 tsp of garlic powder and after mixing it all together, put in refrigerator for three or more hours to allow the flavors to blend. Yum! This was great with salmon, but I will also try it with crab cakes, tuna and as a dip for vegetables since it is easier, cheaper and healthier than ranch dip. The possibilities are endless with this recipe, maybe even on beef or turkey burgers in place of plain mayo!
