About this Cook
Just got married in November of 2006, and slowly becoming a "domestic goddess"... trial and error. I'm a Christian and very involved with my church, and love to cook for others!
My favorite things to cook
I enjoy making vegetarian meals and extra chocolatey desserts. When my husband loves it, I feel my mission was accomplished!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Homemade bisuits from my grandmother. They're simple and southern, and when I make them I feel all the women in my family, generations back kneading that dough with me. Grandmother's biscuits give me a real family pride!
My cooking triumphs
Learning to time everything... sides and main course and salad... it takes planning! I'm slowly getting how to do it...
My cooking tragedies
The infamous "catfood night" as my husband calls it. The recipe sounded ok, but it turns out oatmeal, cottage cheese, thyme, and cream of mushroom soup don't come together all that well. Especially when cold.

Turkey and Quinoa Meatloaf
Good! I added a sweetpepper for bulk. This recipe was reletively small, so next time I'll double it. This would be a good entre for 4 people.

Chicken and Black Bean Casserole
Great! I made so many mods... but it made the process simpler and healthier. First of all, I added 1 cup of corn, 2 cups of chopped kale, 1/2 cup of water to moisten the rice, and a can of kidney beans. I left out the butter and onion (Did not have an onion), so I chopped up the chicken, kept it raw, and threw EVERYTHING into a casserole dish, stirred it up, covered with foil (VERY important), and cooked for about 80 minutes. Only one dish, topped with sour cream, quite healthy and delicious! Keep an eye on the rice to see it does not run dry. If you have too much moisture at the end, take the foil off and bake for additional 5-10 minutes.

Candy Bar Bars
Peanut butter + chocolate chips + sugary oatmeal you can't go wrong! This was great! Mine was a bit crumbley because I reduced the amount of brown sugar and corn syrup by about half. I also added about 1/2 cup ground flax seed for SOME nutrition. I added about 1Tbs. of cocoa powder to the "topping". Super good!
