About this Cook
I am a 41-year old divorced mother of two with a Masters in Urban Planning. I work a 40+ hour week and have successfully avoided the kitchen until I was 35!
My favorite things to cook
Anything in a microwave!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Still working on that one.
My cooking triumphs
Getting more than one item on the table at a time still hot and recognizable!
My cooking tragedies
For 15-years of marriage I had pretty much let my husband take the lead in the kitchen with no desire to figure out what was for dinner. Shortly after my divorce I knew I was in trouble in the kitchen when my 4-year old son walked past me while I was cooking and asked what I was making. When I told him pancakes he wrinkled his nose and told me to try and not burn them this time. Well, 4-years later, at the age of 8, he hasn’t starved; however, we will have great stories to tell the grandkids! LOL

Aaahh! Potato Soup
Seemed like it needed more flavor and really salty.

Slow Cooked Baked Beans
Really yummy! I got a deal on chicken hot dogs for $1.50 a pkg so I added 4 dogs, chopped up, instead of salt pork or bacon and added extra salt. Kids LOVED it. Will make again with bacon and/or salt port - whatever's on sale.

Easy Pumpkin Muffins
Only thing I'd suggest is that you mix the dry spices with the cake mix before adding the puree to make sure they are evenly mixed. I didn't have cloves so I substituted allspice and still LOVED the muffins! This is a keeper!
