About this Cook
Married, 2 gradeschool kids. Nurse. My mom started me in 4-H when I was young. She would sign me up for every cooking competition I could be in. One year, she had me make meatballs that called for grape jelly. I couldn't stand them. Well, the judges loved them and I had to make them for the State Fair. I was so sure that they would hate it but I got a blue at State. Now as an adult I would like to try it again but cannot find the recepie.
My favorite things to cook
I like cooking it all. I love trying new things.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I am expected at certain parties to bring certain recipies. For the Spring Blossom Celebration, I am to bring my fresh Spring Rolls. They are time consuming but oh, are they fresh and tasty.
My cooking triumphs
I cannot think of ONE specific triumph but I LOVE it when I try something new and my family says "That was the best meal I've ever had."
My cooking tragedies
When I made choc. chip cookies and for some reason used tablespoons of salt instead of teaspoons.

Grandma Johnson's Scones
I've tinkered with this recipe some. I make it a little wetter by adding buttermilk (sometimes take out a little sour cream and substitute the buttermilk). I add in white choc chips and frozen huckleberries. My son can't get enough. Any other scones are now just a dissappointment.

Sloppy Joe Sandwiches
My son LOVES this recipe. I use dried onion flakes instead of powder. I have never been a Sloppy Joe fan but I'll eat this with the family anyday.

World's Best Scones! From Scotland to the Savoy to the U.S.
I had never made scones before and my 10 yr old son wanted to try some. I took the not overmixing to heart and actually had some chunks of butter still in the mix. We're not big fans of raisens or currents so we added some thawed huckleberries, vanilla and cinnamin. Used salted butter (didn't have unsalted). WONDERFUL! I'll be keeping this one. Thanks
