About me
I am a self-proclaimed "foodie" who enjoys cooking more than eating. My friends and family have declared me an expert cook, and many have suggested I go into business (catering, restaurant or writing cookbooks) for myself. As a new mom (my son was born in January 2007), I find I don't have the time, energy or enthusiasm that I once did for cooking, but I still enjoy savoring the look on my husband's face when I try something new or make one of his favorite dishes. My husband says the only thing better than his greatest memory of me when he would come home while I wasn't working and find me still in my pajamas, glued to the Food Network with cookbooks piled around me and me furiously making notes was to come home and find out what I was making for dinner that day! Both myself and my husband share a similar heritage or Italian and Irish mix, but we tend to lean towards the Italian side in tastes and looks. That being said, I have had to learn how to be creative as my husband cannot stand onions! In many of my recipes you will find onion powder or shallots as these seem to be the only things that don't offend my husbands sensitive pallet, please feel free to chop, dice and utilize onion in any way to suit your taste.
