About this Cook
60 yr. old (it's the new 40) mom of 2, grandmom of 4. I love being at home, having the time to cook and to pursue my other million and 1 hobbies.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Old world Czech. dinner from my mother: Stewed chicken and homemade noodles. Always been my favorite. My MIL was a great cook too. She had a delicate touch with gravies and meat and a beautiful way of serving it all.
My cooking tragedies
My husband still laughs at one of my first attempts at cooking as a newlywed--potato pancakes. I didn't even know how to make a sandwich then and have been trying to teach myself to cook ever since.

Best Steak Marinade in Existence
Only made a couple of changes: used low sodium soy sauce and not quite as much garlic, fresh lime juice, and fresh basil. Marinated in plastic bags 5 extremely thick rib eyes and t bones for 12 hrs. The flavor was just ok, kind of bland, not sure why it didn't have the kick I was looking for..

Slow Cooker Turkey Breast
Great! Foolproof for old and new cooks alike. I used one package onion soup mix for a 3 lb. roast, instead of 7 lb., so it was a little too salty. Next time I'll go for a larger turkey breast. My cooking time was about 2 hrs. on high and 2 hrs. on low, and it was just about right.

Banana Nut Bread I
Very good! Like others, I added 1/2 cup less sugar, butter instead of oil, some cinnamon and nutmeg, chopped pecans. I didn't find this to be too much sugar since I don't like things too sweet. So good warmed and buttered the next day.
