About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
Cakes, casseroles, pork shoulder in the slow cooker for tacos or pulled pork sandwiches, enchiladas and pasta dishes are my favorites to make.
My cooking triumphs
I made a fabulous carrot cake from Simplyrecipes.com. I made it for guests and they were floored. I felt so proud, I know it was just a carrot cake but it was beautiful and good! I made a great brunch for the recovery dinner after my brother in law's 50th birthday too which was well received. Because I love to cook so much I've had lots of success lately, and that gives me more confidence in the kitchen.
My cooking tragedies
When I was a teenager I tried to make mashed potatos. They came out as cold potato soup. I guess I didn't know I had to heat the milk and butter and I poured it in too fast. I learned my mistake and now make fabulous mashed potatos.

Skillet Beef and Macaroni
Very easy for a weeknight meal. Taste was great. Followed as written but can be modified. Leftovers heated well with parmesan cheese on top.

Beef Mac Casserole
Wow this was really good. I made the recipe as written with the tomato sauce and juice and it was fantastic. I was toying with the idea of just using jarred pasta sauce, but knowing how good it tastes as written I will make it this way from now on, DELISH!
