About this Cook
I'm married and have two little ones. Life is busy working and taking care of the fam.
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake. It helps that I have a sweet tooth!
My favorite family cooking traditions
In my family, my dad was more of a cook than my mom so I think I picked up his like of making roasts, chili, soups and more hearty meals. Because I love baking so much, my boys are starting to help me more and more with mixing things and making cookies and cakes. It's so much fun!
My cooking triumphs
I've had a few really good parties with lots of people and cooked every bit of food for it. Ribs, fresh fish, roasted corn and lots of salads and baked items. My two most requested items are my exceptional chocolate chip cookies and chewy oatmeal chocolate bars.
My cooking tragedies
Oh, there are many! My husband has been a trooper! It took me a long time to figure out how to make a good, tasty roast. I suck at making asian food, even though I love it so much.

Grilled Pheasant Poppers
Wow, these are great. My husband hunts but I hate eating pheasant so we usually give it away. This is the best pheasant dish I've had. I took it to a NYE party and people really loved them! I live in MN so grilling is tough in the winter... I just baked them and they turned out perfect!

Fresh Tomato Salsa
I have been making salsa like this for years, although I never measure what I put in, I just use what's ready in the garden. I do agree that 5 serranos are too many. I usually use one jalapeno or 2-3 serranos. Also, you MUST try it sometime with lime zest. Zest a whole lime, then take the whole lime's juice. The zing you get is outstanding!

Mom's Pumpkin Pie
This is an awesome recipe! I can't believe how easy it was to make. I used a pre-made pie crust and had it in the oven in about 10 minutes! I took the advice of others and used 1 cup of milk and all I had was half-and-half instead of heavy cream. It was a bit of a bummer because with a deep dish pie shell, it still was too much filling - I ended up throwing about a half cup of the filling away. I think if I used a 9" deep dish pie plate it would have fit perfectly, so next time I'll give that a try. Honestly, the taste of this pie is right on the mark! Perfection!
