About this Cook
I'm mother of 3, none of them Children, one husband, one dachshund, one cockatiel. I work full time and still cook 3 meals a day. But we'll see how that goes when I go back to school to start working on an associates degree in marketing in 2009. When I'm not working or taking care of my family I'm working on a project, craft, or learning a new hobby.
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake. I'm currently working on my bread technique. Though, that has slowed as I just bought a bread machine and don't need to worry as much when I use that. I also love experimenting with sauces. My favorite ethnic food to cook is Thai.
My favorite family cooking traditions
When my family gets together we talk about what we're going to eat for the next meal while we're eating the current one. Whom ever's house we are at always has a new recipe they've perfected and can't wait to try on us. We have at least one huge home cooked meal every visit.
My cooking triumphs
Winning over all my friends, even the ones who only eat at home, to my cooking to the point they never refuse what I offer.
My cooking tragedies
That's between me and my garbage disposal.

Buttertart Squares
Half way through my first bar I was convinced I would never eat anything but these bars for the rest of my life. My husband was not exactly on the same page, but he seemed to enjoy them. No coconut or raisins were added, nor do I plan to try adding them in the future.

Zucchini Cornbread Casserole
I devoured this. Somewhere between quiche and cornbread, this has the potential for many more creative applications. I added some cream to the eggs and beat them with a handmixer to emphasize the quiche-like side of this dish. Then I simply mixed that with half flour, half cornmeal and some baking powder. I plan to try all sorts of veggies, meats, and cheeses in this base.

Creamy Souper Rice
Definitely needs extra liquid added. I was hoping it would be creamy, as the name suggests. It actually came out like regular rice, but with lots of yummy flavor. I'm still figuring the best alterations to make, but the basic idea is very good and tasty.
