About this Cook
I like healthy yet good food.. :o) Generally I only eat white meat, unless its an awesome Alberta Beef steak!
My favorite things to cook
I like to cook.. I can't bake to safe my life though which means I'll never post a cake receipe!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Christmas and Thanksgiving with traditional home made gravy! Yum. Generally very English style cooking though. I acquired my more adventurous tastes living abroad.
My cooking triumphs
My African Curry and Cornish Game Hens stuffed with cranberry/orange dressing accompanied with a nutmeg/cinnamon gravy.
My cooking tragedies
Anything that involves the "BAKE" function of a stove.. broiling is usually done with moderate success.

Make-Ahead Spinach Manicotti
I really liked this.. I made it twice, once as written and then a second time when I changed a few minor things: I used fresh onion and garlic in the Manicotti and then added some fresh basil to the sauce. Simply because we enjoy that extra flavors... the manicotti was still good as written. I used a ziplock bag with a hole in one corner to fill the shells.. it work great! I had a double recipe filled in 5 minutes flat. I also had about 1/4 cup of filling left, so I just added it into the sauce. Kinda fancy, but simple AND yummy... Definitely will be making this again!

Low-Fat Macaroni and Cheese
Ack.. Update: I did forget to mention that I too did not cook it for the full recommended time (Never do.. all ovens are different and I live at high altitude). I cooked this only for 30 minutes at 325F and stirred it once.

Hearty Breakfast Cookies
This is my newest FAVORITE! I started feeding my husband "breakfast" cookies last month... and just this week got around to trying this recipe. Simply Awesome. Only changes: Added nutmeg and upped the cinnamon and I substituted 1 cup dried cranberries for the raisins which I soaked for 10 minutes before adding.
