About this Cook
Happy wife and mother of four - 23 yr old, 13 yr old, 10 yr old and 7 yr old. Enjoy reading, scrabble, chess and long walks. Love to play dance dance dance revolution, rock band, guitar hero and american idol with my kids. A dreamer that loves to write, sing, bake, photography, painting, swim, enjoy animals and help people. One of my dreams is to go back to school for writing and pastry chef.
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake but I have a terrible sweet tooth so I try not to do too much unless I have plenty of people to eat it.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Just starting to inlcude my girls in the preparation process so they can become comfortable in the kitchen early.
My cooking triumphs
Convection oven turkey was awesome for Thanksgiving last year
My cooking tragedies
As a young cook I remember trying to make a green cake that was not edible. Not having food coloring available and no adult to consult - I used green jello in the mix and it never gelled (smile, pun on words). I was so discouraged.

Broiled Lemon and Garlic Tiger Prawns
Awesome! I did not have tiger prawns so it took a really long time to butterfly my large shrimp but I made the mixture with less margarine and more garlic. I marinated my shrimp in the mixture -laid them out and sprinkled them with a mixture of paprika, season salt and slap yo mama instead of the cheese. Me and my kids loved them and waited up to have me fix more. Served with mac and cheese and green beans and they were moaning like never before. For the adult palate my choice would be jasmine rice and asparagus sides. Delicious - cant wait to use the tiger prawns though.

Steak Marinade
I just tried this and I was missing a lot of ingrediants so I substituted. I used red wine, red wine vinegar, soy sauce, wirchestire sauce, italian dressing, minced garlic, mustard, and honey, syrup, sweet chili seasoning and catchup with water to sub for barbeque sauce with a bit of salt and slap yo mama peper seasoning. We will see how it turns out - it smells delightful. My marinade is only for 1 hour. I laid two rib eye steaks down in the mixture in my slowcooker on low and pierced them with a fork - flipping over and doing the same on both sides. Letting them marinade in the slow cooker on low should help speed up my process. Once ready - these will be pan fried in olive oil. Meanwhile my slowcooker will cook down the marinade to a sauce to serve up the steak with. I will strain the sauce so all the minced garlic will be gone and then add in some catchup for thickness if necessary. This should be awesome.
