Foolproof Rib Roast
About this Cook
I'm a proud Army wife! I try to cook healthy and delicious as cheaply as possible.
My favorite things to cook
I like to cook healthy things but I'm not a crazy health food nut. Everything in moderation but the less fat I have to put into something the better.
My cooking triumphs
I'm surprised everytime I cook! I'll take 2 or 3 recipes and make up my own version of something in between using what is in the fridge and pantry. My kids love hearing it is a "Mommy made it up" night! Usually it is surprisingly good! My kids say I should have a show on the Food Network. :)
My cooking tragedies
One time I made my mother-in-law a birthday cake. Right after I finished icing it I opened the cabinet above it and a big can of Slim-fast fell on it! I was mortified.

Indian Chicken Curry (Murgh Kari)
This was my first try at making and my first taste of Indian food! I thought is was very tasty. My kids thought it was a little too spicy so next time I'll reduce the cayenne. I cut my chicken breasts into small pieces and browned them instead of using the whole breasts. My only problem was that my yogurt separated. I had only 0% fat Greek yogurt on hand so maybe the fat free thing did it. Maybe next time I'll stir the yogurt in at the last minute just letting it heat through but not simmer. Thanks for helping me try Indian food. I liked that I was able to buy just the small amounts of the spices at our local healthy market and didn't have to buy jars of it.

Sopapilla Cheesecake Pie
This was really good! I baked the first crescent roll layer (I used the sheets) for about 6 minutes before layering. I used 3/4 cup sugar in the filling, 1/4 cup butter, and 1/2 cup sugar in the topping. I got the butter soft in the microwave and spread it on top of the top layer, then put the sugar and the cinnamon on top. The butter did not pool like others stated. I baked it for 30 more minutes but probably could have subtracted a couple minutes.

Big Al's K.C. Bar-B-Q Sauce
We enjoyed this sauce very much! Good balance between sweet and spicy but very easy to make sweeter or spicier as you like. I like to make my own, no high fructose corn syrup!
