About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
For years I did nothing but bake but just in the last 4 or 5 years I've become more interested in cooking entrees, especially grilling and using a slow cooker. Also, I've collected a few southern cook books and would like to get good at that.
My cooking triumphs
Brownies. I developed a number of recipes and for a while was making a small living selling them but I decided not to pursue it.
My cooking tragedies
Every recipe when I first try it. I have to cook every new recipe at least 3 times before it's the way my husband and I like it. Meanwhile, our two Golden Retrievers have feasts.

Dry Rub for Ribs
This is exactly what Denise promised "a super simple dry rub." So, naturally I added two things. 1 teaspoon onion powder and I split the paprika: 1 tablespoon regular paprika and 1/2 tablespoon smoked paprika. The smoked paprika gives it an added depth. I use this rub for brisket, chicken you name it. It's the best.

Chicken Salad Croissants
This is a great recipe. I made it with a little less mayo and some sour cream to make up the difference. Also, I shredded the chicken and grated the swiss cheese. Next time I will cut back on the relish. It overpowered the chicken. Instead of 1/2 cup I'll reduce it to 1/3 or maybe even 1/4 cup so there is just a hint of dill pickle. I think a tablespoon of Grey Poupon as another reviewer said would give it zing too. I made it for myself and a friend for lunch and I've been sticking my head in the fridge and munching on the leftovers ever since. Yum. Thanks, Laura.

Slow Cooker Barbecue Ribs
This cooking method is great. I cut a slab of ribs in half in order to fit it in my Crockpot and I used my own bbq sauce. The one thing I had to do after the ribs were all cooked was take them out, empty out almost all but a few tablespoons sauce and pour in fresh sauce before I cut the ribs and took them to a party. The sauce I removed was kind of nasty after all those hours but it sure served its purpose. The ribs were falling off the bone and people were scraping the pieces of ribs off the bottom.
