About this Cook
I am a homeschooling mom with 1 child still at home. I also have 5 precious grandchildren -- 4 boys and 1 girl. My favorite hobbies are scrapbooking, card making, and needlework.
My favorite things to cook
I love converting recipes to healthier versions by substituting whole foods. I love to cook almost anything.
My favorite family cooking traditions
When I can, I make a dozen or so varieties of cookies for family and to give as gifts. My family has come to depend on my homemade breads as a staple in our home.
My cooking triumphs
My great triumph was catering my daughter's wedding. I prepared food for 150 which included chicken salad swans, meatballs, and chocolate dipped strawberry trees to name a few items served. We even had an ice sculpture!
My cooking tragedies
The first time I made fried chicken I used an egg batter and forgot to add the flour! It was dreadful.

French Toast Casserole
I thought this was very good. I used leftover apple bread that I had made earlier and cubed it as the recipe instructs. I doubled the recipe and baked in a 9X13 pan and used the required amount of milk and eggs. It took a full 60 minutes to bake the custard and I did have to cover with foil about the last 20 minutes. I think this is a great basic recipe that you can easily alter to fit your family's needs and using what you have on hand. I came out as good as something I might expect to find at a bed and breakfast.

Chocolate Sheet Cake III
This is a very good, easy recipe. May I strongly recommend that you use butter and not margarine. Also, for the frosting, you don't need to measure the 3/4 cup of sweetened condensed milk. Just go ahead and use the rest of the can. I'd like to try it again without the cinnamon.

Brooke's Best Bombshell Brownies
This is a delicious recipe. I baked in a glass pan for 30 minutes, but think I will shorten the baking time just a bit and take out of the oven while still gooey. Even so, they are delicious.
