About this Cook
I am from deep south Louisiana and I am Cajun. Growing up in a huge family that loves to cook I have been helping in the kitchen since a toddler. I love cooking and have traveled around to get new recipes. I even lived in Mexico for 2 years and picked up authentic Mexican recipes. I love baking and southern dishes. I excel in homemade pies and southern classics. I am always trying new recipes and something new. My motto is you should always try something twice because nothing ever tastes exactly the same.
My favorite things to cook
I love and I mean LOVE pies. I have a few people addicted to my Lemon Meringue and No bake cherry cheesecake pies. I am constently baking and making desert. I also love to cook southern dishes and simple, easy and tasty things for my kids.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Every Sunday after church my family would get together at my grandmothers house and cook a huge southern supper. Now with my grandmother too old and ill to cook and myself moved away, I love to cook almost every night for my family.
My cooking triumphs
It took me a couple of times to get my lemon meringue pie perfect.... but it was so worth it.
My cooking tragedies
I cannot eat something unless it is seasoned perfectly and I gave my mom a recipe and she under seasoned it. I felt I mislead her. Lol.

Chicken Satay
My kids loved it and I thought it was alright. I think I might have screwed up though because I found it kind of salty.

Old-Fashioned Swiss Steak
This dish was excellent. The only things I did different were I used Dijon mustard instead of prepared(it was all I had and it tasted great!!), I did not add mushrooms because my family does not eat them and I used italian diced tomatoes. YUMMY!! This dish was very much liked and will be used again!!

Amber's Sesame Chicken
This dish was great! Although I pulled the lazy route and did not fry the chicken or use any flour. Instead I sauteed the chicken with onion and bell pepper. I did triple the sauce and I added the sauce when the chicken was fully cooked (sesame seeds were in the sauce). I then lowered the heat and cooked on medium low for about 20 minutes, letting the chicken absorb the sauce. I served it over white rice. It was wonderful! Even my picky kids loved it. Defo will cook again!
