About this Cook
I love to cook. I can do a little mexican, italian, and a lot of american. I do cook gourmet. But my baby is baking. Everyone loves my chocolate chunk cookies and my brownie pizza pie dessert. I would like to learn how to cook american chinese.
My favorite things to cook
Prime Rib with a red wine reduction sauce for Christmas and sometimes Easter. Filet mignon with red wine reduction sauce, Seafood cream sauce over a bed of linguini, roasted chicken. I like to bake scones, pies & biscuits.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Red velvet cake for Christmas & Carrot Cake for Easter.
My cooking triumphs
Baby back ribs, grilled & smoked. My fancy brisket rubbed with olive oil, freshly cracked pepper & fresh rosemary; baked, then smoked.
My cooking tragedies
A couple of times I have forgotten to add sugar to my pumpkin pie. Too much going on during Thanksgiving, I guess.

Seafood Fettuccine
Instead of 2 cups of half and half, I used 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream and 1/2 cup of butter. Instead of 1 cup of onions, I use 1/4 cup of shallots. I used snow crab instead of scallops, this time around, but either work well. At the end I add the zest of 1 lemon and the juice as well. If you let the warm pasta sit in the sauce (without the seafood) for about 10 minutes, the pasta will soak it up and make it creamy.

Migas II
I add fresh jalapenos, tomatoes and onion. I'm not a tomato fan, so I leave them out. You should saute' one jalapeno and 1/4 cup onions before adding in the eggs. (I remove seeds and inner membrane of the jalapeno for less heat.) I add a pat of butter once everything is combined. Great on a warm flour tortilla with fresh avocado or serve burrito style.

Cream of Mushroom Soup I
I wanted to try this after having the one at La Madeleine. It was very good, but too thick. I added more half and half and butter. I'm sure I could have done that with stock, I will try that next time. The soup is great with crusty bread. I used baby bella and button mushrooms so I could get more depth to the flavor. I am a big meat eater, but found this soup very satisfying. I will make this again.
