I am a happily married to a husband who loves to eat. We have been together for 22 years and were best friends for 7 years prior. We have a beautiful 24 year old daughter who is living with us temporarily. I am a retail consultant who travels all over the U.S. and I love my job.
My favorite cookbook is Patti Labelle's Recipes to sing about. It is filled with great comfort food (no diet anything in this book).
I love both to cook and bake, November and December are the best times in my kitchen. I was raised in a household with 4 generations, so it was customary for the women to spend endless hours cooking and baking. My great grandmother taught me how to bake using a wood burning stove. That is how we made all of our meals until I was about 14 years old.
I am truly blessed with a wonderful family both here and beyond.
My favorite dish to cook is Bolla's Peanut Stew as most people are surprised how much they like it given the ingredients. It is the meal I am most asked to prepare.
My favorite chain restaurant is Maggiano's. I love the Rigatoni D !!! My favorite local restaurant is the Thai Place II in Fox Chapel (near Pittsburgh).
