OMG I can cook!?!?
About this Cook
After travelling around the world in the Navy, I have a love affair with foods from all places. I am still learning and I can't say enough about this site and all the great cooks contributing here.
My favorite things to cook
Casseroles and desserts. I love a great 5 can casserole recipe. Its really hard to go wrong. And who doesn't like dessert?!?!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Did not come from a family with a lot of traditions so I am making up my own as I go along.
My cooking triumphs
My first thanksgiving dinner came off on time and without a single hitch. No, really!!
My cooking tragedies
Trying to do an organic vegetarian dish for my housewarmer as I knew some of my friends ate that way, well, all I can say is I am glad I had lots of crackers, dips and great friends who were great sports!!! Practice Practice Practice...

Argentinean Chimichurri
I didn't have parsley but I did have two bunches of cilantro so I gave it a shot and OMG, the very best sauce on fish and chicken (all I have tried so far) but so delish. I will keep this on hand.

Refried Beans Without the Refry
Texture wasn't what I expected, but I am sure there is a reason that those who used black beans used only half black half pinto, unlike me who used all black. Very tasty, but will try it with half/half next time.

Ranch-Style Thighs
So tender and juicy, cooked perfectly the first time. I didn't have cornmeal so I used a handful of mashed potato flakes. Not sure I missed the cornmeal at all. Thanks for a great recipe.
