Just what the world needs: another cooking blog. I am starting this with the sheer purpose of organizing my recipes and sharing them with friends.
If you are stumbling upon this page, here are some basics:
My name is Tracy and I am almost no longer a twenty-something. I am from South Texas and you will see a bit of a Tex-Mex, Southern, and Coastal influence in a lot of my cooking. I currently live in Denver, CO and I am learning to deal with high altitude baking. I will include high altitude adjustments on all recipes that require them. I went to culinary school for one year before I figured out that a life resigned to a restaurant was not exactly my happy place. Cooking is my passion and my number one hobby. I cook at least once a day. I am very old-fashioned in a lot of my methods - I do not like shortcuts, I like recipes that take 3 hours to complete, and I will never use an electric stove. I am budget conscious, but I do believe in using high-quality ingredients. I will try to include shortcut methods in all of my dishes, because many of them can be altered. I will also try to include lighten-up ingredients in high fat recipes. My favorite cuisine is Italian, and my specialties are soups, breads and desserts. I am BIG on pictures with recipes, so you will see plenty of pictures with every new dish.
Most of this blog will be cooking adventures and misadventures, as well as a few product reviews and general cooking information here and there. My other main hobby is gardening, so you may see a post or two about my garden sprinkled in.
If you have a dish that you would like me to try, feel free to send it my way. I love requests and new challenges.
I hope you enjoy this blog, and if you have any comments or suggestions, please pipe up!
