About this Cook
I have parrots who require a well balanced diet consisting of "human food", so I wish this site had a place for good parrot recipes.
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake breads and cakes.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My son grew up eating mostly healthy foods, since I am a vegetarian and a nurse. Since he has his own kids now, I have had to learn a new way of cooking. His kids like Mc Donalds, so I have tried to adapt some of their stuff into my own recipe box. I think it's working.
My cooking tragedies
My biggest tragedy was when I was 12. I made a blue birthday cake and tried to decorate it. I threw it away.

Coconut Pecan Frosting II
Really good recipe, butter tastes the best. My grandson calls it candy frosting. It's really good on dark chocolate cake.

Tomato Feta Salad
My husband and I love this salad, and he always manages to beat me to the last of it. It gets better at the end of the bowl that it is at the beginning. When I am in a hurry, I use a store bought balsamic vinagette with basil. Last of all, this salad is beautiful on a bed of greens.

Chicken Enchiladas V
This dish is a huge, huge, hit with my family and friends. I always double the recipe, but I add two cans of Old El Paso green enchilada sauce to the doubled sauce recipe. It is very creamy, and I always catch someone scraping the last of the sauce out of the baking dish before it gets rinsed and washed. I don't put the cheese on till about 10 minutes before the baking is done, for a creamy melty texture rather than browned. I bake this in Pyrex or Corning Ware, which is not non-stick, so I highly recommend spraying the pan with a non stick spray. Chipotle powder is really good added into the chicken mixture, too.
