Me on a sunny day
About this Cook
My cooking background includes a father who likes to experiment with colors, textures and flavors, and a mother who specializes in down home cooking.
My favorite things to cook
Chili, baked spaghetti, any dessert
My favorite family cooking traditions
Whenever we have a family gathering, it is always my responsibility to bring a homemade dessert of some kind - which I gladly do...with a sense of adventure! At Thanksgiving and Christmas, the traditional fare is persimmon pudding with nutmeg sauce.

Polynesian Coleslaw
Excellent flavors...exotic combination! That being said I modified it a little. I doubled the hot sauce, used reduced sodium soy sauce, only used one red bell pepper and 5 cups vs 8 cups of shredded cabbage. Delightful :-) I'll definitely make this one again!

Marinade for Chicken
Easy to assemble...accessible ingredients...it doesn't get much better than that! I only used 1/2 cup of oil and still had enough marinade for over a pound of chicken tenders. I love the caramel glaze you get at the end of cooking time. Good flavor and SO MUCH BETTER than ANYTHING you can buy premade at the store!

Tater Tot Casserole I
This is one of the easiest, and most delicious breakfast casserole recipes I've ever used! I used Tennessee Pride hot breakfast sausage and didn't even have to add any more seasonings to it! While frying the sausage, I also added 1 cup diced onion. You can add or subtract things from the main recipe to make it as simple or complex as you want. I just can't say enough about this one...I'll be making it a LOT!
