about me

I'm a total foodie and have been in the kitchen since I was 10 years old, helping my mom cook. I have lived in New Jersey, Massachusetts and New York. Although I LOVED Massachusetts, New Jersey will always be home, so I had to come back. I'm lucky I did...ten months after moving back home, I met my now husband He is definitely a "guy's guy," and I am definitely a "girlie girl," but our love for one another and our strong faith as Christians make us a very happy couple. And it also doesn't hurt that I like to cook and he has a healthy appetite.

God has blessed my husband and I with two precious baby girls, whom I hope to teach to cook when they are old enough and should they show any interest in the craft.

My passions are cooking (Spanish and Italian food in particular), and trying to strike the right balance with my family, my job, my friends and some "me" time. It ain't easy, right? I recently left my practice for a few years to be a SAHM to my little girls. As for what my husband and I do for fun, we like taking the kids to the park, going bowling, playing volleyball, and also just hanging out with each other and watching TV shows we both like.

As for how I rate recipes, I've been cooking long enough to tell if I'll like a recipe by the ingredients listed. I appreciate sampling everyone's recipes. Thus, I tend to give ratings of 3's, 4's and 5's. I usually refrain from posting a review of a recipe if I think it lower than a 3, since everyone's tastes are different. Happy posting!!

Favorite Foods:

Shrimp in garlic sauce, empanada, chicken cordon bleu, Galician caldo (which is a collard greens, white beans, chorizo stew), stuffed shells and chocolate, chocolate, chocolate!
