About this Cook
I work full time, love riding my harley and my favorite thing to do is cook for others. I guess subconsciously the more someone likes the food I prepare the more I feel wanted and accepted. The idea that someone admires my cooking skills is such a high for me.
My favorite things to cook
Things people have never thought of doing. My favorite was making an omelette that had cucumber and onion sautéed in bacon grease first. Made this the first time in Jamaica, where we had a townhouse and had to do our own cooking and shopping. Cucumber grilled or sautéed kinda tastes like broccoli but it stays firm. I also like to make chili.

Cherry Crunch
I have made this twice now. I use a 9 x 13 glass pan. Two cans of pie filling, 1 cup of each of flour, oats, and brown sugar and upped the cinnamon in the topping. The first time I made it I made a pan of 1/2 cherry and 1/2 blue berry. I did add a little almond flavoring to the cherry - I highly recommend that. This time I used apple filling and added some chopped pecans to the topping. Both me and my husband like the cherry best and the blue berry the least. I think the pecans were fine, but will eliminate it in the future. This recipe is super easy and will be a regular item in our house.

Bacon Popovers
Even though I changed it up some, I think this recipe still warrants a 5 star rating - the ease of making these is awesome! I took the advice of adding cheese and using bacon grease. I halved the recipe since I only have a 6 cup muffin pan. Used a little less than a 1/4 cup cheese. Added more salt and still used 3 slices of bacon. I think I will try making these without bacon at some point and just make cheesy ones. Also will try with bacon and sauteed onion or green in the future. I think this is a good base recipe that a person can use and change up the ingredients to their liking. I love the moist fluffiness of these.

Baked Pork Chops II
I think the cook time needs to be watched/trimmed - or you need to be careful not to brown them too long before hand. Not sure where my mistake was, but my thick (1.5"-2") chops ended up dry and I baked them covered with tinfoil being sure to seal it good. I had dry pork chops in 2 inches of liquid after 60 minutes. The sauce was tasty and thickened on top of the chops, will use the sauce again.
