Trixie and Me
About this Cook
Married 28 years and mother of two grown adults, I'm an office manager in the aerospace industry. I love animals, have two Jack Russell Terrors, and a cockatiel. Hubby and I enjoy camping, and Renaissance and pirate festivals.
My favorite things to cook
I started a low carb diet in April '09, so lately I've been trying to find fun things to cook that are low carb.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Going against tradition
My cooking triumphs
Turkey in an electric roaster while camping. Turned out perfect. I'll never cook turkey in the oven again.
My cooking tragedies
My husband's mom cooked lasagna every year at Christmas. She passed away, and since I make a pretty mean lasagna, decided to make it for the family Christmas gathering this past year. I moved the baking stone in the oven to the bottom shelf, and my lasagna took forever to bake. Didn't figure out why until the next day. Baking stones are better in the middle of the oven.

Asian Coconut Rice
I think I'm with some of the others in that I really couldn't taste the coconut milk. It seemed like a waste. The rice cooked perfectly, but I put all the ingredients in a rice cooker. Not sure if I'll do this again, but if I do, I think I'll add flaked coconut to see if that brings out more flavor.

Baked Scallops
This was phenomenal! Perfect blend of seasonings. The only thing I didn't have was the onion powder, but I don't think it made a huge difference. The only change I made was a tablespoon less butter, and a drizzle of white wine to the butter on the bottom the pan. FANTASTIC. I went looking for the left overs the next morning, and my daughter informed me she'd wiped them out the night before. This will go on my rotation list for sure!

Egg in a Boat
I've been wanting to try this for a long time. For various reason, one being that I'm wheat intolerant, I always put it on the back burner (no pun intended.) We have four backyard chickens, so I'm always looking for ways to use the numerous amounts of eggs we amass. I made this for hubby this morning and topped it off with heated chili from last night. Because our range died last week, I made this on our Cuisinart Griddler. I felt like the bread didn't get quite as toasted as I would like, hence the four stars. I will make this again, but work on making the bread more toasted (like grilled cheese sandwiches). I have to add that hubby was very happy with the meal, so I'd give it 4 1/2 if I could. I think it would be fun next time around to play with some seasonings as well.
