Chicagoland Chef du Jour

about me

Hi there, thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy my recipes as much as I do.

My husband and I love great food, the kids don't like anything. What else is new? We pretty much consider ourselves to be "food snobs" these days. When we go out to dinner, it had better be top notch!

People always ask me if I enjoy cooking cuz I'm always cookin'. I typically respond with, "It's love-hate" thing for me. I love great food but wish I had someone else to cook it for me." My husband finds the food prep & cooking / grilling "therapeutic", I don't get it!

Many of these everyday recipes I make have morphed over time. I love to tweak recipes to perfection and then some have remained unchanged over the years. At times I have had to "pull a rabbit out of my hat" and a new recipe has been created.

All the dishes I prepare are easy & oh-so tasty. Enjoy!

Thanks for any and all reviews!

Favorite Foods:

Thai, Italian, Greek, Spanish, Mexican, good ol' American Cuisine, Soups & Stews. Let's face it, I love it all!

My recipe ratings go as follows.....

5 stars: Rocks my taste buds to their core. I wouldn't change a thing!
4 stars: Near perfection but I may tweak it a bit next time.
3 stars: Thanks for sharing. It's worth another nibble and maybe a tweak!
