About this Cook
I am a twenty-six year old with a love of food and no reason to worry about calories as of yet. I don't rate my recipes based on healthyness, but taste. So remember that. I'm pretty easy-going when it comes to food, but I must have easy and good recipes or they never get made. I am a sucker for fast recipes, ie. small number of ingredients, fast cook times and easy substitutions. I'm also a sucker for desserts although I haven't made many from this website. I have too many really great family recipes. Well, that's me!
My favorite things to cook
Curries, Not-so-Mexican Chicken Enchiladas, Chicken Jambalaya, Sugar Cookies (actually any kind of cookies), Asian Food, Hawaiian Haystacks (not really cooking), Peanut Butter Bon-Bons, Anything new I can test on my husband
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom and I would make about 200 sugar cookies for Halloween and Christmas. Then my whole family would help us frost and decorate them. We had to make alot because half the cookies would disappear while being "frosted".
My cooking triumphs
I single-handedly catered a holiday dinner and dessert party for my fellow employees at a luxury resort. I loved cooking the food and the Christmas candies. Although it was alot of work, I would do it all over again in a second. I also love the fact that I can cook food for my family that they not only love, but are willing to finish off the leftovers.
My cooking tragedies
I once made a peanut butter pie that ended up as peanut butter flavored cement. I still don't know what I did wrong, but it seriously was a slab of hard and slimy gelatin/cement. It was horrible!

Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
Very good and extremely easy. I bought a 4 lb boston butt roast and cooked it for 10 hours till the bone slipped out without resistance and the meat shredded easily. I drained the slow cooker, shredded the meat, added the sauce and then stuck it back in the slow cooker for another 30 minutes. I would suggest you use a spicy barbecue without a lot of sweetness. I used a variety of Bullseye bbq sauce with molasses/brown sugar and the pulled pork is very sweet - almost too sweet. Other than that, this 4 lb roast gave me enough for 16 sandwiches.

Fluffy Pancakes
Really good pancakes. Made according to recipe. Very thick batter, so I had to pour into pan and then spread a little with a spatula. Very fluffy and substantial.

Quick Quiche
Never had/made quiche, so this was entirely new to me. Recipe couldn't have been easier and the results- DELICIOUS! My husband scarfed down his portion and asked for seconds. I cooked these in muffin tins and used cheddar cheese instead of Swiss as well as onion powder instead of real onion. Oh, and I used 1/2 tsp of salt and my husband pointed out how salty they tasted, so I'm going with 1/4 tsp salt from now on. To make single serving sizes, I put about a tablespoon of bacon in the bottom of each muffin tin, sprinkled in some cheese and poured the egg mixture over both until they were covered (about 3/4 full). Very surprised to see my quiches try to "puff" out of the tins, but equally surprised when they fell back down after being taken out of the oven. I think they look very nice and are very, very tasty. I've never made quiche with a crust, but now that I have this, I'm sticking with it.
