About me
I’m a former Chicagoan who now lives in Brazil, where I teach English as a foreign language to college students and adults. I grew up on a farm, where I learned to cook and bake with my mother. Later, living in Chicago, I enjoyed many ethnic restaurants and began trying to incorporate those flavors in my home cooking. I also learned a lot by watching the Food Network and reading recipe books and magazines. It seems that my cooking is always evolving; changing with the availability of ingredients or the discovery of a new recipe or technique. Here in Brazil, I’ve learned to make a few of the local dishes and have adapted my style to the variety of fresh foods available, relying less on convenience foods. I have also started modifying recipes when I cook for a couple of vegetarian friends; eliminating meat, reducing oil and fats, and increasing fiber and whole grains. But I still get raves every time I turn out a pan of brownies, sometimes made with Brazil nuts instead of walnuts!

Thanks for the compliment. So How and where did you go to find a job in Brazil as ESL teacher. Id love to go home and teach.


Hi and thanks for being my cooking buddy! Can't wait to share many great recipes!


Please forgive the tardiness of my thanks for your nice comment on the cheese sauce! By the way -- I'm working on some recipes for my vegetarian friends as well... I believe I mentioned it to you once before, but everything is melting together ;-) I have a couple of awesome stuffed bell pepper recipes in the works along with a very unique lasagna. Take care my friend!

These were great though I altered the recipe a bit by adding white chocolate chips, walnuts, and a 1/4 tsp each of cinnamon and ground cloves instead of the dried fruit and mi
