About this Cook
I'm a Martha Stewart Wannabe - who can make chicken do the hula. :)
My favorite things to cook
We love experimenting with new flavors & tastes. Our favorite meals include anything BBQ'd, Indian, Eastern or Mediterranean. My husband loves to grill so I'm quickly becoming "Side-dish Girl".
My favorite family cooking traditions
Lots of comfort food - stews, soups, & salads from the "Old Country"
My cooking triumphs
Grilling a turkey - turned out fantastic!!! All the credit goes to the most wonderful husband & grilling master in the world... mine. (I did help with the prep).
My cooking tragedies
A lemon chicken stir-fry from Martha Stewart that asked for lemon rind - it turned out AWFUL!!!... could it be that Martha is not perfect??

Peanut Butter and Pumpkin Dog Treats
Fabulous! Our dog, Magnolia loves them & so do our friends' dogs. I ended up rolling out the dough & cutting dog bone shapes out of it & they baked perfectly... however I did have to watch for some burning on the tips. The water wasn't necessary to make the dough workable. They came out great & I will definitely make them again!!!

Roasted Acorn Squash
This recipe was good, but not great, so we gave it 3 stars. The flavor was good, the texture was OK & it needed way more than the recommended salt to really bring out the flavor. One thing that my husband & I thought was that it makes for a good starch replacement, but it really is missing something. It's a good alternative to making sweet acorn squash, but some people may have a hard time with the texture and flavor. I will try to experiment with it a bit but I do not recommend serving this to friends without trying it first.

Kid-Friendly Wheat Bread
This is a great recipe. I like to bake my own bread rather than buying & I appreciate that this dough does not have to be kneaded very long... just leave it in the KitchenAide. The bread comes out fabulous!! I add 3 cups of wheat flour first & then add a little at a time to get the right consistency. Definitely did not need all of the recommended flour. I add a little flaxseed for a heart-healthy touch. :)
