About this Cook
I have four wonderful kids under the age of seven and we homeschool, so I am a busy momma!
My favorite things to cook
Anything fast that has meat and vegetables in it.
My favorite family cooking traditions
For the last 20 years my family (starting with my grandmother's Christmas celebration) has been having an annual Christmas Cookie Contest. Each family member, including the guys and the kids, make a cookie from scratch. Store bought cookies are strictly prohibited. I have won the last four years, the most for anyone in my family. I think a winning cookie is one that combines the fat and the water (i.e. creaming the eggs into the butter/sugar) for at least 8 minutes of mixing. This kind of cookie comes out chewy and soft. Each person starts looking for their cookie recipe in mid summer, and we have fun talking trash all year about how each of our cookies is sure to win the coming contest.

Herb Roasted Pork
I tried the balsamic vinegar substition suggested by another reviewer and we did not like the sauce that way at all. We did really enjoy the spices on the meat though (I served the sauce separately). The kids each had several servings!

Garlic Green Beans
Don't try to use garlic powder and butter instead of sauteing the garlic cloves in the butter... It doesn't work!

Easy Dinner Hash
I enjoyed this dinner, but I was suprised by how dry it was. It needs a sauce similar to au gratin potatoes: I would like to see someone post a comment or new recipe that incorporates a sauce to bind these ingredients together. Since there is not much water, you have to be careful not to burn the sausage while you cook the potatoes. (I think it would be better to put the potatoes in a few minutes after the sausage has been cooking.) Also I used frozen hash brown potatoes to make it easier, but I should have put the onion in with the sausage, since it took longer to cook than the hash browns. To summarize: start the sausage and onion at the same time. Add the potatoes four minutes later with some kind of cheese sauce, then you would have a five star recipe.
