About this Cook
Married with a 2 year old daughter. Former bank analyst, now a stay-at-home mom and busy pastor's wife.
My favorite things to cook
Pizza, soups and salads. I try to keep it healthy, but don't always succeed!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Every year, our church ladies get together and bake cookies for our shut-ins (those who are older or disabled and can't always get to church). It's a whole day of doing what I love!
My cooking triumphs
I cooked an entire diabetic-friendly Christmas feast for my husband's co-workers, since one was diabetic. It was really tasty and no one knew how healthy it really was. Too bad that particular co-worker didn't show up!
My cooking tragedies
I decided one Christmas to make a stuffed pork loin for dinner. We were having company over and wanted something impressive. I had done one the year before for another dinner and tried the same thing. Unfortunately, I was out of kitchen twine and could only find black yarn. I figured that would work. When the roast came out of the oven it had this terrible blue ink all over it from the yarn. It was so gross I couldn't show it to my guests. We had to improvise for the main dish!

Skillet Chicken and Vegetables
I loved this recipe - so quick and easy, with lots of great flavor. The sauce ended up very thin, because there was an awful lot of liquid in the pan from the chicken and vegetables. I will probably drain this next time. Otherwise a great recipe for a quick dinner.

Chunky Cheesecake Brownies
I made these at 10 pm one night and had them all mixed up and baked in under an hour. Not too much trouble for great brownies, I'd say. Just loved these. I took them to a superbowl get together and everyone was really glad I had made two pans! I followed the recipe to the "t" on these, except for melting the chocolate chips and butter in the microwave. One thing I might do is decrease the amount of choc. chips in the cheesecake part, as that was a little overpowered, but no complaints from anyone.

Pumpkin Rolls II
I am not a bread maker. I am nervous about making anything with yeast, but I just had to try these. I'm so glad I did - they'll be on our Thanksgiving table for sure this year! So easy and tasty - they don't even need butter. By the way, I used two 1/4 oz packages of yeast and it worked out just fine. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
