about me

I am a mother of my 5 year old beautiful, sweet boy! And a 2 year old gorgeous little girl! I am very fortunate to be able to stay home with them. Yeah I thrive for adult conversation but that's what 'zaar is for right?! I would love to go back to school someday for either interior design, or business and culinary school to start up my own bakery or catering business, or even photography. That would be my dream come true! I married my best friend on June 22, 2003. DH works allllll day(60 hours a week) 5 days a week so I dont get to see him as much as I wish but that's why I cook dinner and treasure dinner time. It's our time to unwind together. We love watching movies together. He's a Star Wars and Lord of the Rings nerd. I love them too but don't admit it often or I will have to watch them every day! I'm a feminest, which it turns out I have been since birth, but my best friend going to school for woman's studies and sharing her knowledge, amplifies it.I would love to see a world where my children aren't condemmed to the gender rolls we give them. My Mom is an amazing cook and I picked up cooking from her, but I really am self taught. I love to experiment and try new things. I'm like a Jewish or Italian mom, forcing people to try everything I make and I don't take "no" for an answer! The whole saying that you are either a cooker or a baker is so not true, I am both! My best friend is a cooker and baker too she makes the best cake you could ever taste! (she won't post the recipe...trust me!!)but she makes some killer meals too! I just love getting a ton of ingredients out, make a appetizer, a meal with three or four parts to it,and then bake a kick a$$ dessert to follow, clean up and have all your family and friends grab a big dish and stuff yourselves, the feeling you get when you finally sit down is, to me, comparible to sex! http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/102299/100_0209.jpg

Favorite Foods:

my favorite dish is the ziti out of the Sopranos cookbook..it takes a day to make but is the most worth while dishes I've EVER made! I dont have a huge sweet tooth, I like real meals instead. I enjoy mastering a recipe that is a dificult one to prepare. I have a massive cookbook collection that will probably be the reason for us having to move out of our apartment! *edited to say: I was wrong...having a second child is now why we have to move out of our apartment!

my favorite restaurantis PIER 57, A local resaurant. When DH and I go there we always get the same thing: Stuffed mushrooms for an app, they are to die for!!! and mozzerella cubes as an app also. Then for a meal I get this amazing chicken that is stuffed with seafood stuffing, roasted red peppers and breaded then topped with a mornaise sauce. mmmmmm...it is the best meal not to mention the fact that it comes with bread and this homemade butter that has herbs in it that is the best flavor around. then the ceaser salad with homemade dressing...yum! ok thats enough, I have to stop talking about it.
