About this Cook
I'm a Transport Technician for a school board
My favorite things to cook
Spaghetti sauce! Lasagna with that spag sauce! Beef stew. Tuna casserole. Blueberry muffins!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Turkey is sacred in my family. For Thanksgiving (October in Canada) and at Christmas. Delicious. I can't go without!
My cooking triumphs
Well... I made classic Quebec tourtiere in 2007 for the first time and it was wonderful :)
My cooking tragedies
Oh, there have been plenty. I'm not the best baker in the world. Far too much of a science for me to get it right every time. There have been plenty of batches of gross muffins that ended up in the garbage :)

Beef Barley Stew
I thought this was going to be better. It was really boring in terms of taste. I didn't follow the recipe exactly, since I added a few extra veggies I has in my fridge (2 red peppers, 3 potatoes, no mushrooms). And I didn't add any wine, as I didn't have any. The wine would have added nice depth, but I think it still would have been missing something. I cooked it 8 hours in my slow cooker and I found it just tastes like veggies and barley. Hardly any beef or any other flavor at all. I will eat the enormous pot-worth I made, but I probably won't make it again.

Green Eggs and Ham Quiche
I wasn't sure about this at first, but the taste only gets better as it sits! I had only a tiny bit of spinach, so I added some cooked chopped broccoli. I also added some garlic to the onions, which I cooked in a little butter, before mixing with the broccoli/spinach. I mixed the baking mix, milk and eggs separately and then stirred everything together, so as to get a more chunky texture. Added the ham and cheese on top of the 9 x 9 glass dish. I cooked it 35 mins @ 325 and an additional 15 mins @ 350 because it was totally jiggly!

Sally's Spinach Mashed Potatoes
Who would have thought that something with this much spinach could taste so good?!?! I used a whole package of spinach, even though it looked like a lot, 7 medium sized potatoes, 1/2 cup butter 1 small container of sour cream. 2 chopped green onions, 2 cloves garlic. I chose not to put any dill in it. I had no cheddar, so I put 4 Kraft singles on top, covered with some crumbled goat feta, and baked at 400 for about 30 minutes along with a huge fillet of salmon. Absolutely amazing and everyone loved it!
