About this Cook
I'm a blessed 23 yr old stay-at-home daughter proudly serving my parents, two brothers and giving all the glory to God. I'm currently training to be a future wife, mother, and homemaker. :) I started helping with the cooking chores when I was about 10 years old and started handling dinner by myself at 15. My cooking inspiration comes from my mom, my grandmothers and all of my aunts. They're all wonderful cooks and great teachers! I enjoy cooking just about anything but I get the most satisfaction when I can create a meal using fresh (or homecanned) veggies from our garden along with other ingredients we produce ourselves. God bless to everyone! :)
My favorite things to cook
Anything deemed "comfort food". Vegetables. Oh and ethnic food!:) I also get enjoyment from pouring over antique cookbooks and trying to recreate the recipes of yesterday!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Mom's meatloaf, Grandma M's coleslaw and stirfry, Grandma T's pickled beets and applecake, Dad's BBQ, Great Gram's Lemon Pie, Aunt Betty's Poor Man's Gravy, and my brothers' jerky
My cooking triumphs
Fried eggs! Which is exactly why I cook the dinner shift! *wink* My Mom handles breakfast because for the longest time I couldn't fry eggs, much to my humiliation and my family's amusement! (heehee) But that's all in the past because now I can!
My cooking tragedies
I made a batch of baked beans that was just awful. I've made bread that's fallen flat for some unknown and mysterious reason. When I first started cooking I had a bad habit of making dishes and leaving out MAJOR ingredients *rolls eyes & sighs* yeah...those were awful dinners! (heehee)

Old-Fashioned Lemonade
Wonderful and refreshing! I juiced 8 lemons because that was what I had and I boiled the sugar with 2 cups of water to make a syrup. Big thumbs up on this one! The tip about microwaving the lemons for 10-15 seconds was a gem!

Crispy Chicken Strips
This was AMAZING! I cut 4 chicken breast into strips, used 1 egg beat with 1/2 cup of milk for my wash, and plain whole wheat bread crumbs seasoned with Season-All. Honey Mustard Sauce, also from this site, made a great dipping sauce for these crunchy delectable strips!

Cheesy Rosemary Potatoes
I admit I was not expecting much out of this recipe. We all know simple is often better, but there is such a thing as *too* simple. Don't let that fool you, though! This was WONDERFUL! It went perfectly with our grilled steaks and was divine topped with steamed broccoli. Several at the table even squirted ranch dressing on it! It is so great as written but I do plan to play with it a bit, adding things to make it a main dish. I think it would work with beef tips or chicken chunks mixed in along with broccoli or perhaps a frozen veggie medley.
