About this Cook
A very active baby boomer who loves to cook when I have time. I work full time and have a wonderful hobby of riding and showing my arabian mare, Sulitaa. I still work with a horse trainer and enjoy every minute of it. My husband is also a great cook and in fact he does most of the cooking during the week and of course in the summer on the grill. So we fight over the kitchen at times.
My favorite things to cook
Old recipes from the 50's and 60's BEFORE convenience boxed foods.
My favorite family cooking traditions
A good old fashioned New England dinner
My cooking triumphs
A perfect, from scratch, gourmet cake.
My cooking tragedies
Homemade strawberry jam using what I thought was sugar but my husband had put SALT in the sugar canister!!!! Absolutely awful.

BLT Pasta Salad
I made this over Labor Day weekend and will make it again. I used red onion and added chopped celery and green pepper to give it some color. I also added chopped cucumber with the seeds removed. I used fresh tomatoes with the seeds removed too. I also added celery salt,dried basil and parsley. I followed another suggestion and used Zesty Italian dressing and a bit of mayo with the ranch dressing. This made it real creamy. It turned out wonderful and my husband even ate 2 big bowls. 2 days later it is still creamy, not dry at all, and makes a great lunch. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
