About this Cook
I grew up in the south, married a yankee and moved north. Have 4 wonderful grandkids. Am retired and have finally decided to try to cook from scratch and have discovered I love it! I am also diabetic so it is really hard these days not to eat too much!
My favorite things to cook
Anything I can put in the Crock Pot. I also like southern recipes.

Pork and Green Chile Casserole
I was looking for a recipe to use up some left over pork roast and tried this. Since the pork was already cooked, I just sauted some chopped onion in a small amount of chicken broth and added the pork, black beans, tomatoes with green chili peppers in them, a can of corn, a can of cream of chicken, three Tb of salsa, and 1 Tb of cumin, no water since I didn't add the rice. My husband preferred it over rice so I cooked the rice separate. I heated it on the stove top and didn't put it in the oven. We both enjoyed it. I ate it with chips like a dip with shredded Mexi cheese and sour cream stirred in . Thanks for the suggestions from others. Will definitely make this again.

Easy Mini Quiche
Very good base recipe. I was voting on pictures and had to stop and make this. :-) I added a can of chopped clams (drained) and used Italian bread crumbs with melted butter pressed into bottom of muffin cups in place of bread. Didn't have any mustard so used a little lemon pepper. Too lazy to chop or grate onion so used dried onion flakes and some garlic powder. :-) Also cut recipe in half with 2 eggs, a splash of milk. Along with cheese and chopped cherry tomatoes. Sprinkled some cheese on top after removing from oven. Next time I will use bread and maybe some bacon. Thanks for a great lunch!

Triple Threat Fruit Smoothie
I had a pkg of frozen mixed berries ( raspberries, blueberries and blackberries) so used that with the banana, peach yogurt and orange juice. Also added about 1/3 cup Fiber One cereal. Delicious! It helps to use low-carb yogurt and reduced-sugar orange juice when you are diabetic like me. Update: I tried this with strawberries, banana, vanilla yogurt and oj. Just as delicious. When I get some kiwi and blueberries I will try as written.
