About this Cook
I'm half Yankee, half Hillbilly, so my tastes run for all the fattening comfort foods like biscuits and gravy, chowders, pies and the like. Just about everything tastes great fried in bacon grease!
My favorite things to cook
Pot roast, beef & gravy over rice, nachos, cake and biscuits. Some times I don't like to cook or bake, but when I long for something particular, nothing else but my own will satisfy my longing.
My favorite family cooking traditions
It just doesn't seem like Christmas without some pies, cookies and other sweet treats like peanut brittle, caramel corn and fudge.
My cooking triumphs
I think anything that tastes good is a triumph.
My cooking tragedies
A fudge cake that turned out horrible because the sugar I used was from sugar beets, not sugar from sugar canes, so the whole thing stayed liquidy and inedible! Now, it would be called molten lava cake! LOL

Pretty Chicken Marinade
I made this today, being a little apprehensive with the sheer amounts of soy sauce and liquid smoke. However, hubby & I absolutely loved our chicken!!! I think this will go well on any meat-pork, chicken, fish, even beef! The only think I did different was use horseradish mustard. We marinated it for 5 hours and it could have gone even overnight. We'll definitely be using this recipe A LOT!!! Thank you for the recipe!

Black Forest Oatmeal Cookies
YOU HAVE TO TRY THESE!!! I had to improvise because I didn't have everything, but these are AMAZING cookies. I used dried cranberries instead of cherries, chopped walnuts instead of almonds, and 1/2 cup of butter with 1/2 cup of crisco because I didn't have butter flavored crisco. I used 6 ounces of milk chocolate chips because I didn't have the semisweet bar.

NILLA Tiramisu Cookie Balls
I give them a 4 star rating as they are, but a 5 star if you up the Cafe Vienna. Otherwise, they just don't pack the punch of tiramisu. These taste better if you add an extra tablespoon of Cafe Vienna to the 'dough' and another extra tablespoon of Cafe Vienna to the chocolate. I didn't feel like drizzling the chocolate over the white chocolate, so I just mixed the two chocolates in together.
