About this Cook
I'm a stay-at-home mom and wife of 10 years. I've become more into cooking over the last three years now that I have more time for prep and whatnot. I'm always looking for good "make ahead meals" to take to our cabin!
My favorite things to cook
Chicken, chicken and chicken.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Flank Steak. I grew up on flank steak, before it was so popular and it was just a cheap cut of meat. My father-in-law thought it was nasty until he ate mine.
My cooking triumphs
Prime Rib! I made Prime Rib for Christmas dinner and it was the best I've ever made. The secret was roasted garlic rubbed all over the outside! And I have finally mastered Au Gratin Potatoes!
My cooking tragedies
Pizza dough and macaroni and cheese. I would love to make homemade pizza, I just can't get the dough right! Same with the cheese sauce for mac-n-cheese.

Awesome Slow Cooker Pot Roast
My family has used this recipe for years. We don't use any water, however. That would be an answer to some reviewers who thought the gravy wasn't thick enough. We also use this on skinless chicken legs or thighs. Excellent over rice. I would not recommend cooking this on high for only a few hours. It will still be good, but you're taking a tough piece of meat and only making it slightly tender. I always cook mine on low all day long.

Garlic Chicken Fried Chicken
I found the recipe to be a little on the bland side. The "Garlic" in the title is misleading. I have another chicken fried chicken recipe I will continue to use.

Grilled Flat Iron Steak with Blue Cheese-Chive Butter
First of all I have to say that I am not a Blue Cheese fan. That being said I thought that the butter would mellow the flavor a little and thought I would give this a shot. I did not care for the blue cheese butter at all. The marinade for the steak, however, was very good. It could use just a little bit more kick. Next time I will try using fresh herbs instead of dried, the flavor would be so much better.
