I wished my first "Merry Christmas" yesterday. Savana needs a pair of black pants for her Christmas program, or I would have never ventured out into shankville...I mean, Walmart. It is a madhouse there on the weekends, even without all the Christmas shopping. It turned out that I actually end MORE

About this Cook
My family and I are embarking on a new adventure in our lives. My husband is now a truck driver (no more cattle ranch) and misses a lot of my cooking. It's hard to keep my meals on the small side since it is just me and my girl. Leftovers, anyone??
My favorite things to cook
I make a mean spaghetti sauce, before my husband met me he wouldn't eat spaghetti. The first time I made it for him he had 3 plates full! Now it's a favorite. There are now a couple meatball recipes from AR that I love. I never used to like meatballs. They are Lana's Sweet and Sour Meatballs and Honey-Garlic Glazed Meatballs. I highly recommend them.
My favorite family cooking traditions
No real traditions other than I don't usually do Thanksgiving dinner. For several years now, we have gone to church for their Thanksgiving dinner. Love seeing old friends that we haven't seen since the previous year at the same dinner!
My cooking triumphs
Anything that doesn't wind up burnt is a triumph in my book....
My cooking tragedies
One tragedy in the past year...I burnt some bacon in the oven and the smoke alarm went off. The house was FULL of smoke!!

Delicious Salmon
This was just okay in my book. I marinated for about 4 hours, keeping the recipe as written as far as ingredients and broiling time. I thought it was rather dry but the rest of the family liked the flavor. Served with rice and roasted brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes.

Aunt Bert's White Cake
Considering the fact that I am not a fan of white/yellow cakes, I am very pleased with the texture and moistness of this cake. Like others, I did not add the baking soda to the buttermilk. Instead, added it in with the other dry ingredients. I chose to use up some butter flavored Crisco (I had leftover from all my Christmas goodies) in place of the shortening as well. Didn't have what I needed on hand to make frosting but the cake is still yummy! Thanks for the recipe.
