About this Cook
I have two little girls who love to cook with me, a husband, a dog, two cats and a guinea pig. We are renovating an old rectory which is taking a lot longer than expected but is getting there. We all love to be outside at any time of the year.
My favorite things to cook
I enjoy cooking different things, I don't repeat recipes very often. There are a few staples that I can fall back on if I need to like turkey sloppy joes and baked ravioli. We also like to make pizza faces, whole wheat crust, sauce, cheese and any toppings that I can find in the fridge, freezer or pantry. We make individual pizzas and decorate them with very fun faces using the toppings. It was meant to get the girls to eat more veggies on their pizza, but my husband and I get really creative too! I also like anything I can sneak veggies into, like shredded zucchini added to the turkey sloppy joes.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love the holidays. We have a huge Christmas dinner of prime rib and yorkshire pudding every year. I can't remember ever having anything else.
My cooking triumphs
Anything that isn't a flop!

Favorite Old Fashioned Gingerbread
Great gingerbread. Subbed olive oil for the butter and sliced some ripe pears that I layered on the bottom of the pan. Served with sweetened whipped cream. Yummy and the smell in the house was fantastic.

Balsamic Glazed Carrots
Really good and simple to prepare. My 3 year old gobbled them up. May make a cooked carrot fan out of me yet!

Banana Oat Muffins
Great muffin recipe. Baked twice with minor changes, subbed half the AP flour with whole wheat, decreased the sugar slightly, added mini chocolate chips and some walnuts and baked in mini tins at 395 for 10 minutes. I have two happy little girls!
