about me:
I have been cooking since I was three and putting dinner on the table since I was thirteen. I view food as a universal language. A few years ago I attended culinary school to earn my diploma in French Pastry Arts. I am a Graduate of L Academie de Cuisine. Well prepared food is a true joy of life.
favorite foods:
Seafood, fish, chicken, beef, pork chops, ham and bacon. Pasta is a biggie. Must haves are garden fresh fruits and vegetables. I adore frozen treats, French pastry, cakes, cookies, chocolate and pies. I do not care for hot, very spicy or extreme, unique foods. My palate is simple yet profound.
Tofu Pad Thai

How long may you store sauce in the refrigerator? Is the peanut butter used in place of the peanuts the restaurants sprinkle on top? Because I do not choose tofu, what about shrimp? When would you suggest adding this replacement? Thanks!

Biker's Sloppy Joes

They look yummy and I too liked them when the school cafeteria served them. I do not use peppers so I am wondering how to get much the same kick but without the heat. Any suggestions?
Elderberry flower cake

Had to look up elderberry. The appearance is like a blackened blueberry. I bet these would make very good mini mufins and a little buttercream icin on top would be scrumptious.

I like the idea of using sour cream and I wonder if you have ever tried it with lemon juice and zest, or would this change the consistency too much?
