"famous for" my cookies & cream brownies (even though I'm not that much of a baker! -- can't really screw up brownies)
and another so simple thing "eggs in a hole" -- the breakfast deliciousness that is an egg cooked in the center of a cut out hole in a piece of bread. it is SO easy and not special at all but my friends always have me make it for them I LOVE to cook so I'm always trying things. I have a blog of food stuffs. Tonight I made sausage & peppers and onions in the crock pot w/tomato sauce over toast. yum. i focus on easy but yummy. |
I'm known for:
my stew (beef stewed over hours with a wine sauce) with a mustard puree, my lasagna, and a dish with Roast duck and veggies. But what I love baking the most is macaroons. Coconut macaroons is a type I make a lot because it only takes a few minutes, but on a free sunday I love making French macaroons. |
My husband's favorite is my Seafood Alfredo (mussels, shrimp, squid, octopus, crab in fettuccine Alfredo). I made a pesto version of it when I was down visiting his family in Mexico. It was funny watching his little brothers try octopus for the first time.
My favorites of mine are: Beef Sangria, Barbacoa, and Flounder Soup. I'm also known for my Guacamole (Just don't tell anyone that it's mostly from the packet, except for a couple of my own touches ;) ) Baking: Chocolate Chunk Pumpkin Muffins (or bread), Banana Oatmeal Bread, Marranitos |

But she made the best macaroons I've ever eaten - to this day! |
Two things come to mind: molasses sugar cookies and this spicy/creamy artichoke dip. Soooo excellent!
|
i'm pretty nice with desserts - but people BEG me for my superamazingjelloshots. i know its not food; but during holiday party season and summer cookout season, that is what people expect me to bring.
my brownies have been known to make men cry (in a good way) and propose marriage. LOL. |

People request my: 1. cheesecakes (I make different varieties) 2. spinach-artichoke dip 3. enchiladas 4. salmon dip |
I love cooking (aka ripping off Bobby Flay recipes and Epicurious 4 fork rated recipes), and I cook (almost) weekly for my parents who don't live too far from me...they cop the bill and get a good meal, and I get to use a bunch of crazy ingredients I'd never be able to afford otherwise.
I never like to repeat because it's more interesting for me that way, but the two things I've been forced to repeat are lamb chops with a balsamic sauce and mint pesto, and this steak sauce made out of roasted red peppers (so tangy and ridiculously good). There were also these Thai chicken skewers with a spicy peanut sauce that I've been coerced into making twice. Other than that I try to find a new recipe every week. |

I think I'm justifiably proud of my baked beans and my pound cake with key lime glaze. Others always seem happy to see them. And when I have time (which seems to be rarer and rarer), I can do some pretty cool marzipan at Christmas. |

My go to dish is always "orzotto" - it's like risotto, but with orzo instead of rice. Like risotto, you can put just about anything in it.
My dad always asks me to make this lemon mustard chicken dish. It's incredibly easy and honestly not one of my favorites, but he and my sister love it. My chocolate chip cookies are always a crowd-pleaser too! |

My Mac n' Cheese
Bread Pudding this very quick broccoli and chix dish |
I can cook, but fail at baking. The only thing I can bake that are any good are Russian Tea Cakes. Other than that I always get requests for: garlic mushroom bruchetta (super easy), taco dip, spicy thai shrimp soup, and chilli (family secret recipe).

I usually make kofta (Indian spiced meatballs) when asked to bring an appetizer or main dish to an event. It always disappears.
My kheema (another Indian dish - ground beef or lamb with onions and Indian spices) is one of the reasons my husband proposed to me. Then there's my mom's mac and cheese. That has got to be the ultimate comfort food. Kraft dinner it ain't. |
