About this Cook
I am I'm married and have 1 daughter and one son. I love to cook. My family growing up placed such a high value on family dinner that now it has become second nature. Im a stay at home Mom for now in school for my degree and I just love the look on my family's faces when they eat something I have made and they smile.
My favorite things to cook
Lentil casserole, pies, meatloaves, pizza dough chorico and peppers I guess anything really.
My favorite family cooking traditions
home style county cooking but Newengland stuff so potatos potatos and yes more potatos
My cooking triumphs
I mastered the Lemon mirengue pie and I kicked pizza doughs butt into submission I cooked for my own wedding reception (my brother in law just grilled it! LOL)
My cooking tragedies
bean soup once, I have since learned not to salt your beans because they will not cook!

Cabbage Jambalaya
This is a very adaptable meal I found it to be a bit bland but you can add what ever you like to it. What a great way to use cabbage!

Simple Whole Wheat Bread
I have made this bread a few times now and It comes out great each time, the people that complain about it being two dense may have some of the following issues: your yeast is old, you dont use bread flour or you are over/underproofing your dough. I have figured out that bread is an art as well as a science and this bread, along with all the others takes patience. The part when you mix in the rest of the flour is where I have found most of my trouble, the perfect consistency comes and goes in an instant, for the beginnners add 1/4 cup of flour at a time, be sure to add less flour towards the end so you dont incorperate too much flour making the loaf too dry. even when my bread came out funny they still tasted great and went to good use for something else!
