About this Cook
Hello! I'm learning how to be queen of my kitchen! I love to bake and cook for my family. I want my son to grow up and LOVE his momma's cooking.
My favorite things to cook
Heavy foods that leave everyone at the table stuffed and sleepy. I also love baking up sweets.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I grew up in a house full of men...so lemme tell ya, I can fry up a mean grilled cheese sandwich.
My cooking triumphs
Bombshell Brownies, Butter Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, Chicken Taco Soup...Mmmmmmm
My cooking tragedies
It took me a LONG time to get chicken parmesan right...it seems so simple now, but I could not get it. Too dry, too much cheese, not enough sauce, not enough flavor. The first few tries were pretty awful....

Brooke's Best Bombshell Brownies
Sooooo good, soooo rich, soooo easy. I followed the recipe with only a few little changes. I added about twice the called for chocolate chips and I coated them with a little flour before mixing in so they wouldnt fall to the bottom. I also put some white chocolate in a double boiler, threw it in a ziploc, cut the tip and drizzled it all over the brownies. Delicious! They look like something you would buy from a bakery!

Scrambled Potatoes
My favorite! I am a VERY picky eater. My boyfriends mother makes this and it's my FAVORITE! It's better with Sausage then with bacon, and agreed a little onion goes a long way with this dish. When in a rush, bagged irish potato's go great too! Just cut em in half! Great, Easy meal.
