About this Cook
I've been married for almost 9 years and have two young boys that I stay home and care for. I had absolutely no cooking experience when I got married. Seriously, I could mess up Hamburger Helper!! Since then, it has certainly gotten better and this website has been a great contributer to that.
My favorite things to cook
Anything new that sounds delicious! I especially love fall foods like soups and roasts.
My favorite family cooking traditions
As a kid, my family really loved Dutch oven cooking and I still love it now. I am only beginning to learn how to do that though.
My cooking triumphs
I like to cook for others (although it sometimes stresses me out), but my triumphs are when I please someone's taste buds with a recipe I have made. It is always a great feeling for me.
My cooking tragedies
Oh there are so many:) I did mention I had no cooking experience when I first married. My poor husband. He is my guinea pig. Our first year of marriage I kept cooking a beef stew that he never liked, but he didn't tell me for months because he didn't want to hurt my feelings. Ha! Ha! Well, he knows better now and I look forward to his feedback when I try a new recipe although he is SO picky. I continue to mess up sometimes, but I learn from it and I believe that is what makes me a better cook.

Tiny Chicken Turnovers
This recipe tastes similar to another on this site that is a whole lot easier to prepare! It was good, but I would rather prepare the one using the packaged crescent rolls.

Best Ever Caramel Apple Crisp
I changed a lot of items in this recipe, so I don't know how fair of a rating this really is. First, I had previously frozen pie filling from the summer that I used and I did just use a jar of the caramel topping. I followed others' advice and added the caramel first and then the crumble topping (which is fantastic). I was able to fit this in the dish called for although others recommended a larger one. My husband and I really loved this dish and still ate the leftovers even though the topping had gotten quite soggy.

Yummy Honey Chicken Kabobs
A recipe you really should try. The chicken turned out much more tender than I had anticipated and it was great to use the leftovers in other meals.
