About this Cook
My favorite family cooking traditions
I always made Thanksgiving dinner side by side with my Mom and have now taken over hosting the holiday in my own home. I love everything about the day - getting up early, making the stuffing, preparing the Turkey with the parade on TV in the background, setting the table.....
My cooking triumphs
My husband doesn't like to go out to eat anymore because he thinks the food is never as good as what I make at home.

Ranch Pasta Salad
I've made this recipe a few times for BBQ's. I do not add olives because my family (not me) does not care for them. I use a refrigerated ranch found in the produce isle and do not use anywhere near 16 oz. I use half the cheese and dice it rather than shred. I also cook a few slices of bacon and chop them rather than using bacon bits.

Florentine Artichoke Dip
This is most requested for gatherings and I've made it many times. I have never changed a thing. Thanks for a great recipe! Leftovers (when there are any) go great on grilled chicken.

Summer Squash Casserole with Nuts
I was looking for something different to do with the squash from the garden and this was delicious. I made a few changes - I did not boil or mash the squash (we don't care for mushy veggies) but sauteed it in the butter to soften and added the onion and pepper in the last few minutes. I omitted the sugar, used light mayo and added garlic powder and just a touch of cayenne to the mixture. I topped with mozzarella (didn't have cheddar) and crushed caesar crutons. Rave reviews! Serves more like 5-6.
