About this Cook
I'm a happily married stay at home mom of two beautiful children.
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake, especially cookies. I often receive requests to make them for my husband's employees. My friends call me Betty Crocker.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Thanksgiving was always my favorite family meal. Mom got up early and baked the turkey for what seemed like an eternity and we always had a veggie tray to snack on while she was cooking. We always had to count out the deviled eggs or we'd fight over them.
My cooking triumphs
Making my own thanksgiving dinner for the first time. The turkey was DELICIOUS!
My cooking tragedies
I tried to make an Italian Cream cake from scratch and it ended up tasting like a mild chocolate cake that weighed a ton. Wasted a lot of time and ingredients on that one.

Mini Sour Cream Biscuits
So easy and yummy! I don't have a mini muffin pan so I just made drop biscuits. They were flaky and perfect for my biscuits and gravy. Thanks for the recipe. It's a keeper!! I plan to add garlic and shredded cheddar next time for dinner biscuits. This recipe has a ton of possibilities.

The World's Best Turkey
This was NOT the best turkey I've ever had nor did it come out moist. I will stick with my regular method. The turkey had no flavor of the items inside. I usually cook mine in a bag with fresh herbs under the skin. I will do that next year. Thankfully, the stuffing was the best I've ever made! Lol

Old-Fashioned Chicken And Slick Dumplings
THIS was how my mom made her dumplings!!! At first the dumplings puffed up and I was afraid they were "the other kind of dumplings", but they cooked for a while longer and became the flat, slick dumplings I ate when growing up. I didn't add any potatoes (the dumplings are enough starch) and thickened the broth after the dumplings cooked to perfection. I also used Bisquick mix instead of the flour, salt, baking powder.
