About this Cook
Hello All:) I am a currently displaced country girl from the south. I am a an Army spouse and mother to 4. I am a primarily self- taught cook. I love to cook and especially bake. Baking helps me de-stress. I have yet to meet someone who didn't like my cooking. Everyone is always asking for my recipes but I can never give them. I use the a little of this a little of that cooking method. Even with the recipes on this site I can't follow the recipe exactly. I always add my own twist to make them my own.
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake,cookies, cakes,quick breads, pies and cinnamon rolls.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I feel it is important to get kids in the kitchen at a young age. My oldest was making chicken cordon bleu with my help at age 8. If kids help make it they are more likely to eat it;)
My cooking triumphs
I won the Earle NWS bake off with a modified version of the No Bake Peanut Butter Pie recipe from this site.
My cooking tragedies
I simply cannot make easy fix meals. I can't make kraft mac n cheese or ramen noodles at all. It all evens out though b/c my husband can.

Sweet Pork for Burritos
Sweet this is, too sweet for this prediabetic. I did goof and did not read the directions and dumped all the ingredients together and cooked the pork in that. When I realized my goof I did take out the salsa and chili's and run through the food processor, then shredded the pork combined the two and added back to the liquid and left on warm until we were ready to eat. All 4 of my kids devoured this but they preferred it on a roll instead of a tortilla. It was a bit too sweet for me though.

Green Chili and Corn Dip
This recipe needs a lot of help. I used fresh roma tomatoes since the recipe did not specify canned or not. I also used fresh hatch green chili also, that I sauteed until skin started to brown. I then added tomatoes and corn. I increased corn to 1/2 cup. I then used 1 cup milk (I did start at 1/4 cup but it was pasty and added more to get a good consistency) to 1/4 cup flour and cooked until thickened and then added 8oz cheese. If you like things extra cheezy add the other 8oz. I then tasted the dip and it was pretty bland so I added, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper and fresh ground pepper. Fresh cilantro would be a good addition also.

Original NESTLE(R) TOLL HOUSE(R) Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies
These were yummy in my tummy! Love the dark chocolate! I did use the full bag of chips (as suggested by others to add more) and I chill my cookie dough at least an hour before baking.
