about me

Hi there...I'm single and do most of my cooking for myself. I also like entertaining and am the only one in my family that shows up at family dinners with a new recipes instead of old family favorites. I work in residential real estate, so sometimes have plenty of time to cook during the day, and other weeks am lucky to find time to eat at all. My new resolution this year is to cook more...I love cooking but have at times gotten lazy and relied too much on convenience foods. I also like growing a few herbs each summer...especially rosemary, basil and dill.

I've also decided to start giving homemade muffin baskets to all of my clients on moving day. I'm looking forward to the chance to try out a lot of new recipes to find my favorites.

Favorite Foods:

I love old family recipes, many with a Jewish origin. Some of my favorites are spinach balls, noodle kugel, blintzes, matzo ball soup, kreplah & chopped liver (but I've never tried these last two...my brother has taken over these ones from my grandmother).

I'm usually willing to try most anything with pesto, wild mushrooms, plaintains, spinach, garlic, rosemary, dill, avocado, squash, or crab. You'll find that I always leave out the hot sauce/peppers, fresh peppers & celery in recipes. I've also got a few fruits that I've never learned to appreciate (mangos, oranges, apricots), but I've developed a fondness for most vegetables. There are a few I'm still looking to try, and I'm hoping to find some recipes that will convert me to them.

I'm currently really into soups and eating healthy. I'm working on getting more oatmeal in my diet along with fruits & veggies & calcium. I love meat out, but tend to cook more vegeatarian or seafood at home.
