The Grinch in krispy treats
About this Cook
I'm a single mom with only one left at home, so cooking for the two of us is challenging. My boys love to get in the kitchen with me and cook and we have a great time.
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook mexican and grill. I am working on perfecting baking bread.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I make these really awesome mint cookies every Christmas. They are so good, like chewy little mint ores! We can't go through the season without them. We also have Mexican food for Christmas dinner every year. We like it much better than turkey again.
My cooking triumphs
I'm working on being able to make a good loaf of bread. I am really great at grilling too! I can grill just about anything. And cheesecake is my specialty dessert!
My cooking tragedies
Earthquake cake.....couldn't keep this one together with a whole bowl of icing. What a disaster for a birthday. Then the brownie ice cream cake that wouldn't cut after an hour out of the freezer. This was for my daughter's 8th birthday or so, and it was so bad!

Baked Ziti with Sausage
I made this for friends and it was a huge hit. I also cooked the onion and garlic with the sausage, added some red pepper flakes and some diced tomatoes. I think it would have been a bit bland without these additions. Will definitely make this again.

Spicy Mexican Style Zucchini Casserole
This dish was so good. I'm doing low carb right now so this was great for that application. I did change/add a few things that I think made is spectacular. I browned 1 lb of chorizo with the onion and then browned the zucchini. I used a can each of pinto and black beans and added about a cup of velveta and a cup of shredded pepper jack cheese. Made this for a party and it was a lot so thought I would have leftovers for the week......Nope. Not a chance. They raved and it was almost all gone, maybe one serving left. This is definitely in my line up of favorites.
