About this Cook
I'm 49 (really!) so this year's B-Day will be my last. I'm divorced, working professional and have 3 sons. My sons are now young men (I use that term somewhat loosely) because sometimes they turn 5 right in front of my eyes. All kidding aside, they are great , pretty much on their own (except when it's time to pay tuition) and I'm a very lucky person to have them in my life. My oldest son has special needs and still lives at home with me.
My favorite things to cook
Since I work full time I love my crock pot. On the weekends I like to experiment with different dishes I don't have time for during the week. I enjoy canning as well.
My favorite family cooking traditions
We all love crab cakes, always make them for special dinners.
My cooking triumphs
ummmm, I guess I would say my beef wellington, although I think I have perfected my meatloaf recipe with a "secret" ingredient.
My cooking tragedies
a champagne punch I made for Christmas, it was horrible, gave everyone a tummy ache. A complete waste of good booze.....

Asian Orange Chicken
way to sweet for my taste, I will make it again but drastically reduce the brown sugar

Champagne Punch III
I made this for Christmas. It was too tart and much too acid, lemonade, limeade, cranberry was not a good flavor combination for us. Our stomachs were too upset to eat dinner. I should have known better when I read the ingredients but with all the good reviews I thought I would try it. Shame on me!

Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings
Sorry, I know that I should not rate a recipe unless I "faithfully" follow it. However, it was a good foundation, and for that reason I'm writing this reviw. I used leftover Thanksgiving turkey, sauteed onion, clerley, red bell pepper, mushrooms, garlic. Added poultry seasoning, black pepper & salt. One can of c*chicken, 2 cans of low sodium chicken broth, added fresh parsley. 3 biscuits only, 3 (grands biscuits) rolled out and cut into strips ( 2 cans?????)Finished product was very good! Play with it and enjoy!!!!
