About this Cook
I have been happily married for 11 years. We have 3 sons a 9 year old and 17 month old twins!! Life is pretty hectic, but I wouldn't change a thing.
My favorite things to cook
My specialty is lasagna, but I love pretty much anything. My husband complains that we don't have many repeats! I love trying new things.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My husband is Danish so we always have a Danish Christmas. The meal is fantastic and always memorable.
My cooking triumphs
I have always made pot roast in a slow cooker, but found a recipe that had it cooking on the stove top in my dutch oven. It was fantastic! We also had sauteed parsnips in herb butter as a side...yummy!! If you haven't tried parsnips you should. I don't think I will ever make a pot roast in the slow cooker again.
My cooking tragedies
I must admit I cannot make a tuna casserole to save my life. It doesn't seem to matter what recipe I use it always comes out dry and crunchy. To quote Alton Brown..."That is not good eats!"

Cheesy Rice 'n Tomatoes
The flavor was pretty good, but I must have done something wrong because the rice was VERY thick and sticky. I did use low-fat cream cheese so maybe that was the problem. Probably won't make again just because of the texture.

Pork Chops 'n' Pierogies
My husband loves applesauce with his pork chops so I thought this recipe just might fill that need and boy was I right! Everyone loved it. I followed a few others advice and cut back on the cider vinegar, but only because I have 2 year old twin boys andI wasn't sure how they would like it. Great Dish!!

Chocolate Oil Cake
The flavor is great, but it must be the driest cake I have ever made. I am a pretty good baker, but WOW!!! We renamed it the "Choking Cake".
