About this Cook
I dig cooking and for the most part I seem to do it pretty well. I've always been a good recipe follower but only as of late, have I begun to get creative and experiment with my own recipes.
My favorite things to cook
I'm a HUGE fan of comfort foods - casseroles, breads, baked goods, etc. I also like recipes that call for garlic, butter, wine and lemon - not quite sure why...
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love to cook with my kids. They suck at it but it's a good time anyway :o)
My cooking triumphs
I can make a MEAN trifle! :o)
My cooking tragedies
Anyone who believes I am able to fry bone-in pork chops without burning them to a crispy puck believes incorrectly.

Awesome Slow Cooker Pot Roast
My family and I didn't care for this much at all. Maybe it was the cut we used (rump roast). It was very flavorless despite my rubbing the roast down with seasoning salt, pepper, garlic, and onion before adding to slow cooker. I also floured the roast as many reviewers mentioned the thinness of the sauce by end of cooking - this made no difference, it was still very thin. Probably won't make this again. No one had leftovers.

Baked Pork Chops I
This recipe is divine!!! For those who don't like the idea of using canned soup - you can just make your own mushroom roux by mixing equal parts butter and flour (2TBS butter & 2TBS flour) to a sauce pan over med-low heat with a whisk and then whisking in some milk or cream (1/2 cup to a cup depending on how thin/thick you want your sauce) and a can of button mushrooms. If you want less salt, use unsalted butter :) I thought this recipe was amazing and because I'm a big fan of wine I threw in some extra :)
