About this Cook
I'm a busy mom of two & married to a great guy! I love to cook but don't always like cleaning up the mess! I look for simple but still very flavorful meals that everyone in my house can enjoy.
My favorite things to cook
Healthy stuff!!! I am passionate about providing good, healthful food for my family. We grow a garden every year so that my children know where food comes from, and veggies are always put on our plates! We love italian, mexican, chinese, & family fun food.
My favorite family cooking traditions
It can get a little crowded but I love when we cook together as a family. We do pizza night & tacos night quite a bit. But we keep them homeade so that they get good food & get to try them in new ways.
My cooking triumphs
I am not a baker!! Baking is an exact science. But, I have successfully made potato-buttermilk rolls from scratch on more than one occasion. Even my mother-in-law & grandmother give me credit for how delicious they are.
My cooking tragedies
My first loaf of bread was HORRIBLE!! I think that it weighed as much as I did. According to my baking gurus, I killed the yeast! I also have a tendency to burn things when I don't set the timer!

Artichoke & Spinach Dip Restaurant Style
A great appetizer to make!! The only change I made was on the suggestion of others to put the full 8 oz. of cream cheese in. I put it in a small crockpot to keep warm & it went quickly. Very good flavor!!!

Awesome Red Wine Pot Roast
All the flavors tasted really well. If you bake this in the oven you really need to babysit it & check on it often. I had to add more liquid several times because it had all been absorbed. The meat was sooooo tender & the taste was wonderful.

Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings
This was yummy!! I followed a few of the other reviews & used chicken broth instead of water, I seasoned the chicken up w/salt, pepper, & a little poultry seasoning. And I only used 1 can of biscuits. It was eaten up at my house very quickly by all.
