About this Cook
food = family = memories = life!! If I can get my loved ones to enjoy what I've created with my hands and from my heart, then I'm winning! I love to experiment in the kitchen, love to find new favorites. I work hard so I can play hard and eat good!! You can usually find me with my lil man, my hungry marine, or training to run a 5k, 10k or half marathon! I run to save lives! I run to fight cancer, I run for a purpose!
My favorite things to cook
Anything with salmon or bacon!! I love spicy food andI also love to "healthy-fy" a recipe!

Baked Sweet Potatoes
Made these last night after searching for a healthy recipe for sweet potatoes. I am training for a half marathon and this type of carb is excellent. I didn't use the olive oil, instead sprayed them with Pam used Mrs. Dash, salt and pepper for the spice. Threw them in the roasting pan with "Juicy Roasted Chicken" also from this sight. It was really tasty!! Will definitely make again.

Olive Oil Roasted Eggplant with Lemon
This was great, I used Pam spray instead of the olive oil and Mrs. Dash instead of salt and pepper. Even my picky 10 yr old ate it and liked it.

Slow Cooker Pozole
This was a homerun recipe! Substituted a can of red enchilada sauce for the dried chile/broth combo. Added a small can of salsa verde instead of the chopped chiles. I used all drumsticks (about 5 or 6) and I put them in frozen. Cooked it on 6 hours high and the meat fell right off the bone.
