My cooking triumphs
Successfully cooked for 18 people as a silent auction item. My brother put together a wine-taste/Tuscan feast dinner and roped me into doing the "feast" portion. Afterwards, people wanted my catering card! (I work in banking) Took 1st place in a local chili cook-off. The thrill of getting that trophy (only about 8" tall) was enough to get me hooked!
My cooking tragedies
I have burnt dozens of loaves of garlic bread! Not very good with desserts. Just don't have a baker's touch.

Crunchy Rice Casserole
This was pretty darn good! I had leftover tri-tip, so I diced it and used it in place of the hamburger. Kids liked it, too. This will be a permanent addition to my casserole recipe box!

Tacos in Pasta Shells
This is a clever twist on Italian Stuffed Shells. To modify for my non-meat eating daughter, I substituted in refried beans and crumbled tofu. I also used a package of taco seasoning mix as other reviewers have suggested. Really good, especially with the added toppings at the end. Easy, tasty, and freezes well, too.

BREAKSTONE'S Chicken and Sour Cream Enchiladas
I cooked these last night and they were very easy and delicious. I actually made them the night before, sprayed very lightly with oil before adding the topping to keep the tortillas moist, and simply popped them into the oven when I got home from work. Cooked for 5-10 minutes longer since they were chilled and they turned out great.
