About this Cook
I love to cook. I grew up cooking and my family loves food! I have 4 children and enjoy cooking for them when they come home to visit.
My favorite things to cook
I enjoy making homemade pizza for my kids because they love it so much. Definitely my favorite thing to cook because my family appreciates it so much. I love to cook everything. I used to make desserts alot but am trying to lead a very healthy lifestyle, so I don't make dessert as much.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Grandma Welty's Peach cobbler, Gram's homemade potato salad
My cooking triumphs
I make really good pies and people love my Rigatoni with meat sauce!!
My cooking tragedies
hmmmmm.......I always have a back up plan when cooking for company so of course I really haven't had any of those. One time, when making homemade pizza, I had homemade crust in the oven just to "proof". (the oven was warm but not on) I forgot it was in there, and I turned the oven on to 450 to preheat for the pizza. That was BAD!! (rubbermaid bowl no less!!)

Broiled Tilapia Parmesan
YUMMY! I make tilapia alot but usually just use dill or lemon or Old Bay. This was more like what you would get at a fine restaurant! I did decrease the amount of butter to 3 T. and would probably cut back even more.

Amy's Barbecue Chicken Salad
I was trying to imitate a salad I had in a restaurant as well and this we so very close. I used a rotisserie chicken for convenience and it was an easy summer lunch for after church. The restaurant version had jicama added and I was unable to find it at the store, but it adds a little extra crunch. I hope to use that next time.

Chicken and Red Bean Enchiladas
Very good but ended up being a bit more time consuming to prepare than I anticipated. Very tasty and actually low fat and nutritious (except for the cheese....yum!!)
