About this Cook
I'm a mother of 5 beautiful children. I've been married to a wonderful husband since 1991. I write a monthly food column for the local newspaper, and include recipes, and my own photos.
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook anything Mexican or Italian. I love to bake, especially yeast breads.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Homemade tamales on Christmas Eve, and my 10 and 13 year old daughters have become quite skilled with the assembly process as well. Aebelskivers on New Years' Day. Homemade salsa always. "Cheesecake Supreme" from Allrecipes.com at every family gathering.
My cooking triumphs
When a friend from Church wouldn't give out his recipe for the best eggrolls I've ever eaten, I spent weeks trying to duplicate his results. Well, they never turned out exactly like his, but they did turn out just as good. All that work was worth it. I'll never buy eggrolls again.

Truck-Stop Buttermilk Pancakes
Really like these, but still can't seem to find pancakes as good as ihop. Not even the ihop copycat recipe is as good as ihop. But these were definitely yummy. Some of the best I've made at home. One tip, rather than stirring in blueberries, chocolate chips, whatever, pour the pancake batter on the pan, sprinkle with the berries, etc., then flip as usual. No blue pancakes, and perfect distribution of goodies!

Funnel Cakes V
Well, I've been searching for a perfect funnel cake recipe, and took me a while to get around to trying this one because it only had 4 stars, but this is the BEST funnel cake I've ever made! I used a clean, empty, pancake syrup bottle to squeeze out the funnel cakes easily into the oil. Saw them use that at Knott's Berry Farm actually. Topped with powdered sugar, strawberries (mixed with white sugar), and whipped cream. AMAZING! I'll never be able to spend money on them at theme parks and fairs again!

Potato Bread II
Oh my this was good! I made it in my kitchenaid and shaped it into rolls. Super light and fluffy and delicious. I think this will be my new favorite bread recipe. I had bought instant mashed potatoes and my family hated them, so I wanted to use them some other way. This was perfect! Looks like I'll be buying instant potatoes again after all! I did have to add a little more water to get the right consistency. May just add a little less flour next time. This is always different for everyone in bread making, depending on the humidity, flour used, etc., and so I don't find this to be a fault of the recipe. Also, those who scored it lower because it didn't "keep" long... any homemade bread won't keep as long as storebought which has all the chemical preservatives, but it never lasts long enough in my house to know!
