About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
Anything I can make from ingredients on hand. I prefer to experiment rather than follow recipes, but sometimes recipes are needed, too!
My favorite family cooking traditions
I like to make Polish food that my grandmother made when I was younger. I also like making some dishes that I've made up since I've been married.
My cooking triumphs
Dozens and dozens of kolacky made in one day. It was quite a challenge and hard work, but I managed to do it.
My cooking tragedies
There have been ruined dishes and desserts, but I've learned from them. Newest one: our oven stopped working, and I already had brownie batter in my muffin tin, so I tried the propane grill, using it mostly on medium heat (too high), so we ended up with half-burnt brownies that tasted like they'd been smoked. LOL The unburned insides were good, though!

Cranberry Sauce
I found this recipe because I was wondering if I could use regular orange juice in place of the water, instead of my usual addition of frozen oj concentrate to the water. I guess so! Thanks for the recipe.

Ham 'n' Noodle Toss
This is a very good combination that I've never thought of. We really liked it! I made it a little differently and used chicken ramen instead of Oriental. I cooked the cubed ham on a grill pan to brown it and then added it to the drained, cooked noodles and broccoli. I used frozen broccoli and cooked it in the noodles & broth before draining the broth (to reduce sodium - but some nutrients might have been lost from making the broccoli this way). Added lite soy sauce just before serving. I will make this again!

Tuna Snack Spread
I made this with 2 cans of tuna, and it came out great. I think it's good either way, having tried it with one can first. I used onion powder instead of salt (cutting down on salt) and light cream cheese. If you don't have lemon juice, it's okay. I didn't really taste a difference, and it just made the dip less thick, but it has a good, creamy consistency either way. This is going on my list of dips to make for get-togethers and just hanging out at home.
