About this Cook
I am very blessed to be able to be a stay-at-home mother where I can focus on my family while my kids are still at home.
My favorite things to cook
I love baking breads and cookies!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Thanksgiving at our home is very traditional. My husband smokes a turkey and then we bake it in the oven. It turns out wonderfully and goes well with a smokey red wine gravy! We love having distant relatives come stay with us to share in a huge traditional meal with all the trimmings near a warm crackling fire!
My cooking triumphs
I have a few recipes for cakes and cookies where I have substituted some whole wheat flour for regular flour, and olive oil for butter. They turn out great and my kids still gobble them down. I get to feel like I am getting them to eat just a little bit healthier, and they still get their sweets!

Garlic Lover's Chicken
I loved this easy recipe - and what matters more - my picky kids just raved about it. I used three cloves of garlic instead of one, and cut the butter down to 2-3 tablespoons. Makes your house smell wonderful as well!!

Kathy's Delicious Whole Slow Cooker Chicken
I thought this recipe was wonderful! The chicken stayed juicy and had loads of flavor. It fell apart though when removing from the crockpot so don't plan on presenting it whole - but's that's okay for me! My whole family enjoyed it!

Betsy's Mandarin Orange Salad
Great recipe. For the dressing though, I only use 2 T vinegar, 1 T parsley, 1/4 cup oil, 1/2 t salt, pepper, and 1 T Splenda. It cuts down on the calories and oil a bit. I don't use the celery either. Works out great!
