My allrecipes story.

May 13, 2012 8:13 am

Way back when in 2003, I had just moved to the US from Canada to live with my hubby (boyfriend at the time). Of COURSE, the week I moved in with him, his job duties changed and he began traveling all over the US on a weekly basis. (BOO!!!!) What's a girl to do?! I didn't know any body and had… MORE

Ahhh, butter.

I'm sorry folks, but if you try to feed me margarine, I'm gonna cringe. There is no substitute for butter. I don't care how much 'buttery flavor' you try and cram into your margarine....it's NOT THE SAME and I'll be able to tell! I grew up on butter. My mother uses it, my grandmother used it,… MORE

....my pots and pans, that is. In fact, I'm embarrassed by them. I realized a few months ago that I bought my current set in 2002 from Target, and only spent around $60 for 3 pots, 3 lids and 2 pans.

About Me

I'm a 36 yr old foodie currently living with my husband in Aurora, IL. I'm very fortunate in that my husband will eat everything I make, and I'm constantly using him as my guinea pig! I was born and raised in Canada by my French Canadian parents. I grew up eating a lot of French Canadian foods, and I just love getting home to Canada to taste mom's delicious cooking. She has always inspired me to cook.

My cooking triumphs
Planning and making a 7 course meal for hubby's business associates who were in town on business. Not only was this the most time-consuming meal I've ever made, it was my first time meeting all of them! Stressful day, but a huge success!

My cooking tragedies
Hmm...how about reaching into the oven to take out the Thanksgiving turkey and having the pan collapse, dumping the turkey and scorching liquids onto my bare feet. YEEEE-OUCH!
