About this Cook
Hi I'm Traci; I'm married to a wonderful man and I'm lucky to have two awesome teenagers! Cooking is a passion of mine, probably because I love to eat!.. Now that I'm a "Full-Time Domestic Goddess" lol I'm cooking more. I would love to go to cullinary school and learn more if I ever have the opportunity; I do think I'm a good cook but there's always room for improvement. Right now I'm enrolled in a "Cookie Bouquet" class which should be fun! I enjoy photography and taking pictures of my food; the best part of cooking for me is when others enjoy eating it! :)

Roasted Garlic Bread
The roasting part of this recipe is slightly off; I've found that not covering them turns the garlic hard/crispy. (I learned this the hard way); instead wrap in a foil packet or clay roasting pot.

American Lite Fried Rice
This was a good base recipe and the first time I added cabbage to fried rice so I'm happy to say that it was a great addition; I did not follow the recipe entirely since I had no broccoli, I decided agains putting in the water chestnuts after I opened the can and saw that they were brownish. I skipped the onions too since the kids don't like them. I did use onion powder, fresh garlic, shredded carrot, 3 cups of cabbage, and about 6 slices of bacon which I saved the fat to fry with the rice. (I know not so lite now) I don't like Chinese 5 Spice so I added salt, pepper, and some hot sauce; soy sauce on the side for those who wanted it! :)

Mom's Chicken Cacciatore
I liked this but it had a little bit of a scorched taste to the sauce; I'm thinking it was my fault since I used more oil than called for to fry the chicken. Afterwards the flour on the bottom of the pan looked quite brown and I didn't take it out, I added my veggies as the recipe stated to that oil. Over all the flavors were good; like others said it would have been thin so I added a little bit of spaghetti sauce I had leftover. Thanks!
