About this Cook
I am an elementary school teacher who gets home exhausted after running around 21 students all day. My favorite thing to do is use the slow cooker and walk in to a meal that's ready to eat! I also enjoy trying new recipes . . . which makes this a great site for me. My pre-requisites for a good recipe are few ingredients and even fewer steps. I like it easy!!!!
My favorite things to cook
I have several specialties, many of which I got on this site. People ask me all the time to make the California Chicken Spaghetti and the Chocolate Cavity Maker Cake. I always give credit to the website, but in my circle both recipes are known as "Esther's". The purchase of a wok recently has piqued my interest in stir fry as well. I love the one-pot cooking and especially love the fact that you can literally throw whatever you've got in there and it'll usually turn out well.

Jalapeno Popper Spread
Everytime I make this I am asked for the recipe. I added real bacon pieces and a clove of minced garlic. People want to lick the bowl!!

Pork Chile Rojo (Pulled Pork with Red Chile Sauce)
I've made this twice now and have enjoyed it both times. I used chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (after running the peppers through the mini food processor). They really added the extra kick I was looking for. The pork was great on corn tortillas and then I made enchiladas with mole sauce out of the rest.

Baked Potato Soup
I wound up cooking this longer than the recipe called for, but it only made it taste even better. I used a jar of Hormel real bacon bits that I had in the pantry and they did the trick. The only thing I would do differently next time is have green onions on hand for the garnish. After all, a baked potato isn't a baked potato without green onions!
