About this Cook
I'm an old fashioned wife and mom. I've been there done that, with the career bit, and I'm doing what I love best, taking care of my home and my family. My family includes my fabulous husband, 4 adult kids away from home and teenage twins.
My favorite things to cook
I would LOVE to do desserts, they are my favorite, but then I would eat them, so I seldom cook them. I like one dish meals. We do a lot of pasta dishes, rice dishes, mexican, and my husband grills outside quite a bit.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I fix Thanksgiving dinner every year. I love it! The menu never varies. The family expects the same traditional dinner.
My cooking triumphs
I've developed a cajun recipe that is the best cajun dish I've ever had. My husband loves my stir fry dishes. I fix a very good eggplant parmagianna that is not fried. Goodness, too much to list. I like to do healthy but very tasteful cooking. We love spicy hot foods.
My cooking tragedies
I could not make gravy for years, now I do it well. I caught the oven on fire recently when I was crisping up some tortillas for chips. The early years there were some flops but it's pretty rare that something isn inedible.

Spinach Enchiladas
Delicious! I used a bag of fresh spinach and flour tortillas, as I don't like corn tortillas and made my enchilada sauce from scratch, as it's cheap and easy to do. I may spice it up a bit next time. I served it with a salad. The family loved it!

Moroccan Chicken and Whole Grain Couscous
I only used one can of chicken broth,as the reviews said it was watery and found that to be plenty. While cooking I tasted, and had to bump up the amount of spices, also adding garlic, cilantro and pepper flakes (we like spicy). I made the dish in the afternoon, refrigerated and served that night. It thickened and had a nice flavor. My family really liked this and I'll make it again.
