About this Cook
Married to highschool sweetheart-two kids, presently (2006) 5 and 10 years old. Travel nurse.
My favorite things to cook

My cooking triumphs
Trying out new recipes and "changing" them up a bit to have something soo good! My problem is, I'll make something SOOO good, and then I can't repeat it because I just kind of "made it up"
My cooking tragedies
Something I made with eggplant and vinegar, with tomato paste. EE gads it was soo bad! Burning a few things.. most meals don't LOOK appetizing (I'm no Martha Stewart!) But boy, do I get a lot of compliments!

Janet's Rich Banana Bread
Believe it or not, but have made this five times since Thursday and its only Sunday!! First time, made as directed EXCEPT no chopping of bananas, mashed is our preference.. tried leaving a few large chunks but as someone mentioned they kind of turn a weird color and don't really make it better, just weirder. The second time I made it I ran out of sour cream and used same amount *1/2 cup* of vanilla yogurt. My husband went crazy over the first one, but he went ape poop over the rest of them. He's had it for breakfast, lunch and dinner AND dessert. Not too sweet, very moist and GREAT flavor. Haven't tried more bananas yet, don't want to mess with perfection! Thanks!

Pita Chips
OMG made these a long time ago to go with homemade hummus. Followed the directions exactly including finding the elusive chervil.. didn't *still don't* know what that is. But don't leave it out! And don't try to skip steps by just brushing with oil then topping with spices. Doesn't work to skip that important step. FABULOUS one big hit at a party with hummus! YUMMY!

Italian Salad Dressing
OMG delicious! Used less sugar (preferred taste), used half balsamic and half cider vinegar, no water but other than that the same! For a bunch of NON-salad eaters to request this dressing at a meal is HUGE! It has a lovely flavor, Cudos and hats off!
