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!

Easy Garam Masala
This is great. Glad I don't have to buy it premade ever again! Next time, I'll add paprika, cayenne pepper, crushed bay leaves and either caraway seed or fennel seed. I'll probably make a big batch and keep it in my pantry for future use :o) Thanks!

New Year Three-Bean and Artichoke Salad
I've made this three times already! Love it :o) It's a very forgiving recipe so you can use just about any type of bean and it still tastes great. I even substituted green beans for the garbanzo beans once to reduce the carb count and it was yummy. I've also used chopped vidalia onion when I didn't have green onions on hand and enjoyed that too. The possibilities are endless! FYI: In a time crunch, I used zesty italian dressing instead of making the one recommended. While it was good, it wasn't as tasty as the homemade recipe. I would take the extra time to make it next time and always make sure to mix it up in advance to allow the flavors to marinate and develop.

Fall Festive-tini
I thought this was great! Perfect name for it too :o) I do think I'll use less peach schnapps next time so it'll have more of an apple flavor.
