About this Cook
I'm a writer who walks Labrador retrievers to stretch her advances after happily leaving the world of publishing. I try to stick to a strict weighed & measured food plan with no sugar & no flour -- not always successfully but I keep trying anyway.
My favorite things to cook
Having said I try to avoid sugar & flour, I'm a terrific baker. My specialties, however, have become vegetables. Not vegetarian: vegetables. When I'm adhering to my food plan, I eat many, many vegetables.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Christmas cookies, especially roll-out sugar cookies. Christmas tea breads as gifts. Mincemeat pies at Thanksgiving & Christmas, with venison mincemeat. We owned an orchard for many years so we canned a lot of fruit, made jams & pies.

Czech Stuffed Green Peppers
The pepper filling needs a tad more salt but the sauce makes this unusual and satisfying.

Butternut Squash, Apple, Onion Au Gratin
The only modifications I made were using the entire bag of pre-grated cheese & vegtable broth (I didn't have chicken on hand). I took it to a dinner party & it won HUGE raves. A perfect autumn dish & adequate as a main course.

Crab Quiche
I've made this several times, most notably last night for my father and brother. Some of the filling bubbled over and my father scraped it off the cookie sheet and said if the quiche was as good as the spillage he couldn't wait to eat it. He loved it and complained that I hadn't made two! I used two green onions and real canned crab. It was a hit.
