About this Cook
Just starting out, and I'm really loving cooking. I think we need to go back to a society of homemade meals with real food, grown locally. I think the dinner table is a great place to bring a family together every day.
My favorite things to cook
My husband is away a lot for work so I love when he comes home and I cook all the things I've practiced while he was away.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I come from 2 working parents so meals we usually something frozen from a box or can, lots of M&M Meat Shops stuff, too.
My cooking triumphs
Indian Butter Chicken...aced it the first time! Chicken Pot Pie!!! Anything I change to 'make my own' and it turns out :)
My cooking tragedies
Let's NOT talk about these!

New Red Potato Salad
Brand new favorite in our house. We do find it's too much mayo so we add it to taste. Also, try it with red wine vinegar instead of white. It's an amazing transformation.

Summer Squash Bread
Great bread! I was worried it would be dry but it turned out great. I didn't have enough rhubarb so I used 1 apple. Also, only used 1 1/3 c. of white sugar. Next time I think I'll use some banana or apple sauce.

Rhubarb Pudding Cake
Nice but a bit too sugar-y for me. I think next time I'll use brown sugar, and not so much of it. I blended the rhubarb before putting it in the dish, came out nicely.
