About this Cook
I am married with 2 grown boys. I live in sierra mountains. No fast food restaurants up here. My boys have learned to eat fresh and healthy. I am a wine conniseur so many dishes I cook will go well with a strong cabernet.
My cooking triumphs
Pie making. One year friends took us Apple picking. I was not a pie maker. I ended up with bushels of apples. Learning to make everything from traditional apple pie to creating my own sour cream blueberry/apple pie. I made about 20 pies and also had to learn how to freeze and then cook again. My friends now request me to make pies
My cooking tragedies
Pies again. During this learning attempt I made soupy blueberry/apple sour cream. This is before I perfected the recipe so no more soupy pies.

Remarkable Fudge
This recipes is alot like the recipe on the back of the kraft marshmellow but enough different and much better. The amount of evaporated milke seems to make the difference. I did not have a candy thermometer (I have since purchased one). I did not have a double boiler either. I was able to make this perfectly. I brought the recipe up to a boil on med/high. Then once reaching boil I boiled on med high for 4 minutes stirring continuously. Just be patient and make sure that you don't start to scorch (burn) the butter mixture. Not only was it perfect but my friend who as a teen worked in a fudge shop said at the shop they never had fudge as good as mine. I recommend a candy thermometer because I felt it would have given me comfort but this is a very easy recipe and easily mastered without all the gadgets and with patience. TY for the recipe

Roasted Garlic Bread
definately use all the garlic "bulbs" suggested. This is awesome. I double the recipe, place the extra garlic/butter mixture in the refrigerator and use it to make more bread or on fish with lemon/dill and other recipes. So easy to grab out of the fridge and use.

Broiled Tilapia Parmesan
the sauce was yummy but way to strong for talapia. I think I would try this again but on a stronger fish. Talapia is too mild and delicate for this huge flavor. Couldn't taste the fish at all
