about me

I live in a small town in Western PA about 2 hours from Pittsburgh. I just quit my job as an office assistant after 7 years to be the full-time "mom" of a darling (& feisty!) 3.5 year old. And I am headed back to finish my college degree this fall — I have aways to go though, since I only went right out of high school for a year. My husband is a United States Marine Corps veteran, having toured Iraq twice — the second time while I was pregnant. But he's back safe and sound. We're very lucky.

My favorite TV channel of all time (when I have time to watch) is Food Network ... it's what got me "into" cooking to begin with. My favorite celebrity chefs are: Rachel Ray (I think I like her personality more than her food though), Giada DeLaurentiis and Ina Garten. The latter two have made some great things.

I am currently on a low-fat diet but indulge sometimes ... I have a b-i-i-i-g sweet tooth! (Maybe I should say that I just have a whole mouthful of sweet tooths ... er ... teeth).

As for my biggest pet peeve in life? Well ... it doesn't have too much to do with food (depending on how you look at it) ... but it's the hiccups. I hate hearing them and I hate having them! But when I eat or drink (or laugh) too much ... they're just inevitable. I also hate it when I am looking very forward to eating something in the fridge ... and its GONE by the time I get to it (my husband is always the culprit, but he tries to blame the baby).

Favorite Foods:

My favorite fruit: pineapple

My favorite vegetable: cauliflower

My favorite steak: Delmonico

My favorite dessert: Tiramisu (or anything at all that involves cream cheese. Or ice cream. Or creme brulee. Okay, all desserts. I love all desserts). Unfortunately, I'm not as good at making them as I am at eating them!

My favorite fish: crab legs (okay, so its not actually "FISH" persay, but I love them!) 2nd favorite is probably salmon. But I don't care for tilapia at all. Maybe I've never had it prepared properly ... but I've tried it quite a few times, and it always has a funny taste to me?

I am famous for: my pepperoni rolls (which are so easy, its embarassing).

I love bar food.

I'll drink anything but tequila!! (too much on my 21st).

Sandwiches — from gourmet panini's to pb-n-j are a STAPLE for me. I love them.

Salads never fail! They are my favorite thing to bring to an event because I don't worry about my dish not turning out.
