About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
My favorite things to cook are those that my husband and 8 children will enjoy. We do a lot of baking - cookies, cakes, muffins, and breads - which make good meal-strechers for a family of 10. I also enjoy trying to imitate things I've eaten in restaurants.
My cooking triumphs
My most recent cooking triumph was Chicken Francaise. I had it in a local restaurant and enjoyed it so much that I wanted to be able to make it at home. I found a recipe on the internet and, with a little tweaking, hit upon a great imitation. At a recent birthday dinner, my daughter ordered Chicken Francaise and after a bite or two, leaned over to me and whispered that our recipe was better than the restaurant's. Can't beat that!!

Country Fried Steak and Milk Gravy
YUM! This is a keeper. Only one of my eight children didn't care for it. I had to triple it for my family of ten, but everything worked out great. It's a little time intensive, but worth the effort, especially the gravy. I did add some beef boullion since my children like "meat" gravy and I didn't want to turn them off. This was a perfect addition and made the whole dinner a real hit. I'm smilin'!!

BBQ Chicken Sandwiches
Doubled this and served it to company. Daring, huh? Well, everyone really liked it, even the children. I didn't use all the mustard as my hubby doesn't care for it that much. It's a little sweeter than most BBQ's and really good with the slaw on top!! I'll definitely make this again.

Crab Stuffed Haddock
THIS IS RESTAURANT STUFF!! My 19 year old son had this at a restaurant once and loved it, so he requested it for his birthday dinner. I was doubtful that I could even come close but this recipe, with a few changes, really fit the bill. I was amazed!! My revisions are as follows: I omitted the tomato from the stuffing and added 1/4 cup of white wine to the mixture. I'm sure flaked crabmeat is the best choice, but to save money, I used imitation and it was still fine. Last of all, because I had doubled the recipe, I made it like a casserole by spreading the stuffing mixture on the bottom of a greased 9x13 dish, layering the fish filets on top, and then drizzling the top with melted butter. It baked until bubbly, about 35 minutes. WONDERFUL - THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!!
