About this Cook
I'm on the look out for quick and easy meals that taste good and don't take long or involve a large amount of work. But then, aren't we all? :)
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mother makes these awesome Bierocks, a german food tradition that is a bread pocket filled with hamburger, onion, cabbage and sometimes cheese. They're incredible, and when I learned to make them I was a happy girl. :-) I also love her simple mac and cheese from scratch, her pizza, and her spaghetti. Mmmm!!!
My cooking triumphs
When I make 7 layer Dip or Artichoke Dip for parties, people rave! It makes me feel confident about my cooking skills.
My cooking tragedies
i have concentration problems when I make lasagna. I always forget to layer SOMETHING. One time I forgot to add the shredded cheese, but I was able to rectify it by picking up the noodle layers and sliding it underneath. (messy, but effective) Then the next time, I forgot to add the noodles! It ended up being "cheesy meat" with sauce. :-/ I'm going to keep trying, and eventually I might get it right, consistently!!! :-)

Bacon Cheese Frittata
This was a big hit at our brunch. We doubled the amount of bacon, but we'll use a smaller baking dish next time. It was spread REALLY thinly in a 9 X 13 pan (I know the recipe calls for 11 x 7 but we didn't have that)

Double Layer Pumpkin Pie
This was a nice, quick recipe to take to Thanksgiving dinner. I found it made a LOT of filling, I threw away probably a third of the cream cheese and the pumpkin mixture each, which makes me think I could have filled 2 pie shells rather than just one (just made smaller pies).

Valentino's Pizza Crust
Quick, easy, and delicious (especially with the suggestion of sprinkling herbs on the crust). This is going on my regular weeknight dinner rotation.
