About Me
Hi, I live in Saint Paul, Minnesota where I am a High School English teacher. Cooking is my passion I have been developing my own recipes for the past 8 years. I am finishing a Doctorate program at a local university and because of that I have only a couple chances to upload my newest culinary adventures. My husband is having a great time tasting all the creations and disasters that I come up with (POOR GUY). I don't have a favorite cookbook because usually I am using 5 or 6 recipes from the Net AND from cook books (especially Lydia Bastianich recipes) to create just the right taste for my husband and I.
Favorite Foods
I am a happy home cook! Interestingly, I have never entered a contest or submitted any "winning" recipes. I once fancied going to culinary school but realized that I am too d*mn old. So, I spend my free time wiling away the hours watching Lydia Bastianich, America's Test Kitchen, Malto Mario, and all the famous PBS and Food Network celebrity chefs. Along the way, I have picked up some great techniques and recipes. I don't have a favorite dish to cook. I just like experimenting and coming up with wily concoctions! My favorite restaurant is Valentini's on London Road in Duluth. I am not a fan of Sushi or McDonald's. I never eat fast food! I am working hard to become a passionate member of the SLOW FOODS movement! I hope you enjoy some of my recipes!Advertisement

"Use this dressing/marinade for salads or to marinate chicken or turkey. It's GREAT for Turkey Kabobs!"
