About this Cook
I've always enjoyed cooking, but never thought I had the time. I now cook every night, I'm a newlywed, so I can play with my cooking and figure out how to tweak. I'm loving to learn. My career has nothing to do with cooking, so it's a passion and a hobby.
My favorite things to cook
Beef. Lamb. Chicken. Beef. Pork. Pasta with meat. Beef. Can you tell I'm a meat and potatoes type of guy? :) I'm branching out though.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My grandmother's post WWII era cooking were called "suppers." With good reason. I love savory hearty dishes, but I'm leaning towards light now, you can never beat a good pot roast.
My cooking triumphs
I don't "entertain"... I have buddies over. I think I perfected Lasagna to my taste, and my buddies seem to agree. I make a mean steak, and a killer flank steak (London Broil). Beer Chili once a year for super bowl sunday.
My cooking tragedies
I had a date I was trying to impress and made up a chicken recipe when I first started cooking. The sauce was good but I overcooked the chicken... Rubber chicken sucks.

Wisconsin Native's Beer Cheese Soup
I made this recipe a couple times, last time I used a dark red local ale. The flavor was great! I also grilled some bratwurst and diced it up. The sausage added a great flavor and texture. Will make this again and again.

Jean's Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup
I made a pot of this soup with a few touches. I added a beef bouillon cube, which gave it a nice rich flavor. Added more chicken and more noodles. I garnished the top with fresh cut celery leaves on a whim, and it topped off this soup with seemingly perfectly.

Oven Pot Roast
Excellent! I did this roast per instructions and it turned out moist and the gravy was the home run. After inviting some friends over to try it, I was cleaned out. I tried it next in the crock pot for 7 hours on low. I liked the crock pot better, but slow cooking a roast is my favorite way. Stove top was succulent though!
