About this Cook
I have been married since May 2007 and have always had outdoor charcoal grills at all of my apartments, so we learned to grill pretty well. Then we moved to Texas and now we don't have a grill (aren't allowed to at an apartment) and I feel like I'm having to start from scratch with my recipes.
My favorite things to cook
Sweets (cookies, brownies and cakes) and anything quick and easy.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Sundays with a roast in the crock pot using McCormick Roast Seasoning and Brown Gravy Mix. Banana pudding using JELLO Vanilla pudding. See, nothing from scratch.
My cooking triumphs
I found a recipe on here "Catherine's Spicy Chicken Soup" and have made it my own and its a "must have" at Christmas when visiting family.
My cooking tragedies
I burnt queso dip because I decided to try to cook it on the skillet instead of the microwave or in a crockpot and I burned layer after layer of cheese onto the bottom of the pot and by the time I was done the queso tasted like burnt popcorn. Yuck!

Arkansas Green Beans
GREAT recipe! I cut the sugar amount in half like others, and it worked great. However, by drizzling the sauce on top of everything, it made some bites unevenly stronger than the others. Maybe you could mix the beans, sauce and bacon together before baking and that would help? Overall, a great recipe that I will use again.

Muenster-Bacon Stuffed Chicken Breast
This recipe won me an award!! "Best in Show" at "Baconfest 2009" here in Austin! It is truly great and the perfect mix of bacon, cheese and chicken. The spicy kick that the pepper sauce adds is wonderful! Extra bacon and cheese make all the difference in the world!

Syracuse Salt Potatoes
I am loving these potatoes! I used the larger red potatoes and cut them into 8ths before boiling. It cooked them a bit quicker. Wonderful quick potato dinner! Thanks so much! We will be eating these a lot.
