RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Hi! Thank you for visiting my page! Cooking is my favorite hobby.
My style of cooking is Eclectic American. America is full of food diversity, and I incorporate Italian, Mexican, and Spanish cuisines into what I make. My dad and I make "Jambasta" (jambalaya+ penne pasta), "Philly Cheesesteak Tacos", and other great-tasting foods.
This is how I rate the recipes on this site:
5- Totally awesome. I will definitely make it again.
4.5- Recipezaar does not have this rating, but I round it up to 5. This means the recipe was delicious, but there were some teeny tiny problems that could be corrected. I would certainly make it again.
4- Tasted great, but there were some minor problems (too rich, too salty, too sweet, etc.) I will make it again, but with some minor corrections.
3- Tasted OK; not what I expected. Might not make it again.
2- Tasted bad; will not make it again.
1- Tasted terrible; lots of problems; will never make it again.
I rarely give below a 4. I'm learning to open my palate to the world around me. I also want to be kind to the chefs here at 'Zaar.
I love spicy food. I have to have it every month.
My favorite restaurant... PF Changs! They have the best egg drop soup I have ever tasted. Their lettuce wraps are addicting, too. When they give you the chili oil, I'm always generous with it, since I love spicy food. I treat it like pepper.
