About this Cook

A little about me is I am a Mom and wife so I try to find cost effective recipes to make. My son is extremely picky and my husband will eat anything that I offer, no matter the flavor. LOL

My favorite things to cook

I love to bake! I like making pie, cheesecakes from scratch, cookies, etc... I like to cook/grill seafood, and try new things with all vegetables.

My favorite family cooking traditions

I love to bake with my Mom and she use to let me lick the spoon and I have carried that on to my child.

My cooking triumphs

My cooking triuph was when I finally made a cheescake that didn't crack!

My cooking tragedies

My first cooking tragedy was when I tried to make chicken cordon blue with broccoli and swiss roll-ups. Well it didn't turn out well at all.

Turkey Bean Chili

I saw this recipe in quick cooking and it is awesome! However in the magazine it said 1-2 tbsp chili powder; 1-2 tsp cumin I always put 2 tbsp chili powder and 2 tsp cumin and it is awesome! I noticed that someone else added V-8 juice to thin it out, well at first it is thick and not much juice but when you bring it to a boil and the longer that you let it simmer the more juice is produced. I have made this recipe for about 2-3 years now and it is everyone in my families favorite. If you want it spicier add more jalapeño pepper w/seeds. I also add to my own bowl a few shots of Texas Pete. MMMM I also always use extra lean ground beef for a healthier option.

Toasted Pumpkin Seeds

These were pretty good. They taste like how you would buy them from the store. This is your basic pumpkin seeds. They were good though.

Toasted Pumpkin Seeds with Sugar and Spice

This was exceptionally delicious! I like pumpkin seeds to be completely crunchy so, I baked them at 275 degrees until they had just a little bit of a golden color to them them. Then I put them in the pan with half butter and extra-virgin olive oil, sugar and waited for them to get even more of a golden color(caramelize). I liked the sweet and salty mix! They were great!
