About this Cook
I love my family, my dog, my cats, books, and Colorado.
My favorite things to cook
Family food...Enchiladas, meatloaf, chicken pot pie, baked chicken, chili, stew, etc.,
My favorite family cooking traditions
I have an artist sketch book that I keep famiy gathering notes in: pre-planning, why we gathered, when it happened, who was there, where we ate, what was served, who cooked/brought what, recipes, etc.,
My cooking tragedies
My senior year of high school I cooked an eye of round for my family...I still don't know what happened, I was following the directions my big sister sent me, but that was the most tasteless, toughest, piece of meat I had ever or have ever tried to eat. My father was the only one who ate any of it (probably because I was in tears)! To this date, I have not tried to cook eye of round again!

Hot Artichoke Dip with Green Chiles
This recipe was disappointing. I didn't have green chilies and substituted 1/4 C of green chili sauce. I used two small jars of marinated artichokes (was a little shy of recommended amount). It was better after it was cold than when it was hot...but still was lacking something...

Gingered Pork Chops in Orange Juice
This recipe was excellent. I made it for my mother and husband (a very picky eater). It was moist and tender! I only made a couple changes: I tried a new (for me) spice Stubb's Rosemary-Ginger Spice Rub (2tsp) instead of straight ginger and omitted the blk pepper. I didn't have any brandy so splashed in some bourban. I used every bit of the 1.5 C of OJ. The sauce was a little runny, and next time I might mix in some of that left over seasoned flour and thicken it up before serving, but the sauce was still great over rice. I will be making this again!
