About this Cook
Will be 48 this year and have been married for 26 years. We have one son, who is 20 years old. He is into healthy food right now (low carb, high protein), and my husband is not. Quite a challenge to find things they will both eat.
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake. My husband is the griller. He does a great job on chicken and ribs. I love to search for new recipes and to cook for family gatherings.
My favorite family cooking traditions
my son has a favorite dessert that I love to make him, Chocolate Mint Bars. Other favorites are my chicken enchiladas, meatloaf, chili con queso, salsa, zucchini bread and bread rolls.
My cooking triumphs
bread rolls
My cooking tragedies
pork crown roast for Christmas last year. I KNEW the times that they told me seemed too long, but I trusted them and even checked it 1 hour before they said it would be done and it was WAY over done. Very expensive mistake.

Cream Corn Like No Other
I had never made creamed corn before, only had it out of the can. Man!! This was awesome! Will definitely keep this one!

Whipped Cream Cream Cheese Frosting
I've made this twice now and each time it was perfect! It is so smooth, which surprised me since it has regular white sugar in it. Yummm!

Grandma Johnson's Scones
These were awesome! Insead of raisins, I added fresh raspberries and white chocolate chunks, as well as drizzling a powdered sugar, milk and vanilla glaze on top. Will definitely make again. Oh, and I made these at 7,700 ft. elevation while at a family reunion, and don't usually have good luck baking at that elevation and they turned out awesome! Very pleased. :)
