About this Cook
It's me, the husband, and baby. I grew up on a farm where we worked hard and ate a lot. I've really had to tone down the amount I cook and how I cook it. For my job, I work in program management. I'm pretty laid back most of the time. I enjoy biking and camping. I welcome any suggestions on recipes for 2 people.
My favorite things to cook
Ohhh... there are so many. Unfortunately it's been quite the task to downsize the meals. I love stuffed cabbage, egg rolls, a home created recipe called brocks, meatloaf, and lasagna.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Sugar cookies. Every year I go home and we pull out the old copper cookie cutters and make sugar cookies with real butter. My dad has to taste test them to ensure they aren't too soft or too browned. We use a family recipe that's delicious.

Hugh's Dry Rub
This was too spicy for my taste. I was looking for a rub that was more standard like what you would receive at a restaurant.

Cheesy Italian Tortellini
This recipe was wonderful. I took the time to make the marinara sauce using the "Best Marinara Sauce Yet" recipe on this site. Cutting the serving size on the marinara recipe in half created the perfect amount needed for this recipe. I used Johnsonville Italian Sausages with Sweet Basil (it takes 2 to equal 1/2 lb). I wasn't sure how I like this recipe after mixing everything up in the morning, but it turned out delicious. I don't like mushrooms but I ate them without noticing. My husband and 1 1/2 yr old daughter give it two thumbs up.

Best Marinara Sauce Yet
I made a 1/2 batch because I needed Marinara Sauce for the Cheesy Italian Tortellini recipe. When I tasted it by itself, it seemed a little lacking. When I used it in the other recipe, it ended up working wonderful and the tortellini came out great.
