About this Cook
I work full time, and am always looking for quick things to make for dinner for my teenage son and my boyfriend. I also am recently looking for gluten free recipes and am trying to get away from eating so much meat.
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake! cheesecake, cookies and pie. I also love to try the old style cooking like stuffed cabbage, stroganoff, paprikash. Any thing new is great too
My favorite family cooking traditions
My family really wasn't known for cooking. I've pretty much taught myself
My cooking tragedies
I once made a brocolli souffle for a Thanksgiving dinner. It was my first attempt at having such a large feast at my home, and this was a new recipe. It was absolutely tasteless and mushy!!! I learned never to try a new recipe on guests!! A few years later I was asked to bring mashed potatoes to a holiday feast. I figured I'd cook the potatoes ahead and mash them when we got there. I didn't know the potatoes would turn to sand.... nobody ever suggests I bring potatoes again. Ah! we live and learn

Pizza Casserole
I've been making this recipe for years, and it's one of my family's favorites. We call it slum gooey. I substitute spaghetti sauce for the pizza sauce, and I usually just make it on the stove top. I've added crumbled sausage, pepperoni, ground beef, bacon, green peppers, mushrooms and just about anything else you might find on pizza.

German Potato Salad
i followed this recipe to a T and was a bit disappointed. there wasn't enough sauce to completely coat the potatoes, and the salad ended up too dry. Next time I'll increase the recipe so there is more sauce. the flavor was very good.

Japanese Ginger Salad Dressing
We made this salad dressing to use in the Miso Salmon recipe. Since we were only making 3 servings, we adjusted accordingly and made only enough for the recipe. We substituted Sesame oil for the olive oil so it would go along better with the other recipe, and followed the recipe directly. Unfortunately we needed to use it all for the recipe and had none leftover, as it was delish!! I went out to the store to get replacement ingredients so that i can make a whole batch and use it on salad! this is the ginger dressing i have been looking for.
