About this Cook
A southern gal born and raised in Tennessee. Also have lived in South Carolina and now reside in Dallas, Texas.
My favorite things to cook
Fish and seafood are my favorite things to cook. My husband is more of a meat person so that's a big part of my cooking too. Both of my daughters, as well as myself, are very conscious of our calories and fat grams. So healthy cooking/eating is a must for us. Even though we do splurge for a great dessert every so often.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Summer time is a huge entertaining time for our family. So other the normal holidays I'd say the outdoor grill arena is a big cooking and celebrating time for us.
My cooking triumphs
The first time I brined a turkey that came out like a pro was a big triumph for me. I was so worried about it not being edible that I had a huge ham just in case!
My cooking tragedies
MANY and I mean MANY years ago when I was first married my in-laws came to our house for a New Years Day dinner. I made black eyed peas that ended up like paste. Obviously overcooked them! Also the first fried egg I ever tried cooking was so undercooked that my sister-in-law, in a very nice way, said "let me help you with that" and she cooked another one for my husband.

Baked Lemon Chicken with Mushroom Sauce
There was just something missing - can't figure it out. The chicken was tasty enough and moist but the sauce was gummy even after adding add'l broth and I had to add quite a few ingredients to make it have a decent flavor.

Healthy Garden Salad
A great summer salad full of nutrients that is also very tasty. Made the recipe exactly as written and wouldn't change anything.

Grilled Chicken Salad with Seasonal Fruit
On a hot summer night in Texas this was delightful and refreshing. Used EVOO, honey roasted pecans and fresh strawberries. I think most fruits would work with the dressing depending on the season.
