I love cooking and bringing family & friends together! A nice bottle of wine helps too:) I am a geneticist and automation engineer who has just started a career in real estate and I LOVE being a mom to two gorgeous little girls (ages 6&5) and 1 year old son. My husband is active duty military but we are fortunate to have him home with us. We live in our kitchen and my girls love to cook with my husband & myself. We enjoy everything there is about food from baking to trying new recipes for dinner along with some of our old time favorites.

Excellent!!!the only way I will cook asparagus now. I vary the seasoning from time to time but parmigiana garlic is our favorite. Even my 15 month old loves it.

2014: Loved it!!! This is how I am eating cauliflower from now on!!! Easy, quick side dish that has a ton of flavors. 2016: Amazing!! Cooked this with the lid on at 450 degrees for 10 minutes longer than directed. Then I grated Parmesan cheese over top. Hubby and kids (4 & 3) raved about it. Every last piece of cauliflower was eaten. 5+++ stars

This was a good recipe! I am giving it a 4 because my husband loved it. I felt that something was missing in the taste. After reading some previous reviews I used pre-cooked shrimp instead of raw. Overall it was very good! I served it in a frozen martini glass and it looked amazing!!!

Very basic recipe. Needed more liquid. After making it and after reading other reviews the second time I made this I added a little lime juice and a dash of hot sauce. Overall, very good.

Excellent recipe!! My husband and I both loved it. The recipe was very easy and fast to make with big taste. I substituted panko breadcrumbs for the cracker because I did not have them. It was delicious. A must make again!!!

Venison Stew

Delicious!!! I have to start off saying that I am not a venison person, however, my husband loves to hunt so we have a freezer filled with venison meat. I have been extremely nervous about cooking venison because I've had it in the past and it was terrible. Just awful!! My husband said that the meat was not prepared or cooked properly. After reading some reviews I soaked the meat in water for 15 minutes to get rid of the blood (thank you Dina). I then marinaded the meat for 2 hour in my homemade Italian marinade. I followed the recipe from there. I did add celery along with the carrots & potatoes as well as a can of corn the last 10 minutes of cooking. I added those vegetables because I have a 3 & 1 year old who loves corn and celery. They gobbled up the stew. The 1 year old had thirds along with my husband. I was extremely surprised with how tender the meat was and how tasty this dish was. Going to be making this again & again!!! Thank you Buchko!!
