About this Cook
Culinary school graduate, now retired from that industry. Still love to cook and will try anything.
My favorite things to cook
I'm a huge fan of the crock pot because of my busy schedule. I love to grill because we live in Florida...who wants to warm up the house? I love to entertain and experiment.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I learned to cook by helping my Mom in the kitchen, so just that we had a family dinner almost every night. That's a wonderful tradition that I try to stick to in my own home.
My cooking triumphs
I think that the best cooking triumphs are when you make a meal and the people eating it are happy to be eating it....the feeling of happiness that food brings.
My cooking tragedies
Oh, I've had a quite a lot...too many to name.

The Best Banana Bread
Excellent base recipe! Actually its an excellent recipe by itself! I always have these ingredients on hand for leftover mushy brown bananas. I've addded peanut butter, or oatmeal, or almonds, or chocolate chips, or whatever extra goodies I have laying around. Sometimes I add in an extra egg to make it a little more cake-like.

Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings
This is a wonderful recipe. I will make it over and over again. I took a lot of the other reviews in to consideration and added fresh mushrooms, celery, and carrots. I sprinkled in a little thyme, sage, and marjoram...and salt and pepper. I used 2 boneless skinless breasts and 2 boneless skinless thighs. Just before I added the biscuits, I added two cans of drained whole potatoes. I was a little worried that the broth looked thin and was going to add a slurry...I'm so glad I didn't! The biscuits thickened the broth right up. I used store brand biscuits. I probably would not do that again...I'd use a buttery name brand of biscuits. I think I'd also add a can of peas towards the end...in hindsight, they were missing!
