About this Cook
My name is Karen and I cook for me and my husband. I try to cook healthy. I enjoy cooking and absolutely love this site, and recommend it to everyone I know!
My favorite things to cook
I like seafood, and love to grill. I would like to get some good recipes for tapas and have a get together with some hearty appetizers. Sounds like fun, but also sounds like I would be constantly cooking, and would not be able to enjoy myself.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I dont have any family cooking traditions...No recipes passed down from generations....nothing like that...
My cooking triumphs
I really like cooking and feel pretty comfortable in the kitchen. I like trying new things...
My cooking tragedies
I made T-giving dinner at my house. It was not a tragedy...but....I got all the recipes from this site, and for some reason, they all had large amounts of garlic in them...it was a very garlicky Thanksgiving! ;)

Italian White Bean And Pancetta Soup
I halved the recipe for my husband and I. This is definately company worthy. I will be making again. It might have been better the second day. I think the next time, I may try to make it in the crockpot. I left out the added salt, as I thought the pancetta and chicken stock was enough salt. I am glad I left that out.

Turkey Tetrazzini II
Gave it 4, because I added ingredients to make it better, as many of the other reviewers mentioned. I halved this recipe, b/c I only had 2 cups of turkey. I also added some onion and garlic to the butter, and added Italian bread crumbs on top. This was the best T-Tetrazzini I have had. I have tried others on this website, but this was the best one. Very basic, but very easy to add to it to make it "your own". I think I would also like sauteed mushrooms with the onion and garlic for next time....(and there will be a next time!) It would have been a 5 star with the minor changes, without them, I think it would have been too bland for me.

Slow Cooker Beef Barley Soup
I really liked this recipe. The longer it sits the better it gets. I guess I didn't realize that my crockpot would not hold all the ingredients. I put everything in the crockpot, with the addition of a can of petite diced tomatoes, and absolutely did not have room for the 6 cups of water. I added as much as I could. I probably added between 1 and 2 cups of water. Needless to say my soup was a little thick, but fortunately we like it that way, and we both thought it was delish!! I also forgot to add the thyme at the end, not sure what that would have added. Will definately make again and again.
