About this Cook
mom of three (two at home), love to cook and experiment with different recipes. Nothing more satifying that cooking for family and friends!
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake cookies and cakes. I like to experiment with casseroles and slow cooker meals especially since we are a busy family (hockey, horseback riding lessons, etc.) Recently began taking cake decorating classes and am selling a few every so often..a new love!!
My favorite family cooking traditions
It's always been a tradition to make the mashed potatoes with cream cheese and sour cream and green bean casserole for holiday dinners.
My cooking triumphs
My first attempt at cheesecake was a raving success!!! "Mastering" the art of cake decorating is also a triumph of mine, since I never thought I'd be able to do it!
My cooking tragedies
I forgot to put the turkey in the oven one Thanksgiving...the company noticed when they walked in the door and didn't smell it! lol Dinner was late that year, but it was all good!

Garlic Cheddar Chicken
This really should be a five star, but I'm giving it four for two reasons. My kids weren't thrilled with the garlic flavour, though they eat garlic in stuff all the time (weird kids) and I found I had WAY too much breadcrumb mixture left over, even after sprinkling most of it over top of the breasts in the pan. Overall though, I thought it was fabulous. Thank you for this recipe!!

Seasoned Potato Fries
My family is VERY picky when it comes to their fries. They usually have to be done in a dutch oven full of oil. However, being a new year and committing to a healthier lifestyle, I tried these Seasoned Potato Fries. I made the exactly the way the recipe said to, except I left out the italian seasoning, thinking if I was messing with my families fries, I'd better make them remotely close to "fried"...They were a huge hit!! Even my husband who feels it's blasphemous to BAKE fries said we should do our fries like this all the time :-) Thanks for making me a hero to my family LOL!!

Home Made Mayonnaise
This was excellent! We had chicken burgers for dinner and realized I had no mayo for the buns. I looked up this recipe and made it. It was so quick and while I was afraid it wouldn't taste like "real" mayonnaise, I was pleasantly surprised! It looked and tasted just like real mayonnaise. I think we'll be making our own from now on and save some money! Thanks for a great recipe!!
