About this Cook
I am the oldest in a large family consequently I usually make far more food than necessary out of habit. I have two grown children and a fabulous, handsome, intelligent 2 year-old grandson named Maddox. I also love being with my siblings for get-togethers.
My favorite things to cook
Typical dishes I remember from when I was growing up in the fifties and sixties that feature a modern twist, such as a French Lasagna that Julia Child featured once on her tv show or a Waldorf Salad made with yogurt that is low cal, but is tastes better than the original. I also love making bread pudding.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My family loves my turkey dressing at Thanksgiving and the turkey soup that I make from the carcass.
My cooking triumphs
My recipe for a Shrimp Vegetable Bisque that I originally found in Better Homes and Gardens Magazine which I revised and my family always requests I make during the holidays.
My cooking tragedies
A grilled whole turkey with a honey glaze that caught fire on the grill.

Cinnamon Streusel Orange Muffins
Wonderful, tasty moist muffins. Great right out of the oven. Only change I made was I did not have buttermilk so substituted orange yogurt. We had one just before bed after they came out of the oven and again for breakfast. Fabulous!

Peppery Scalloped Potatoes
The first time I made this exactly as the recipe directed. The next time I used 3/4 cup half and half and 3/4 cup chicken broth. Both times I felt the recipe was a winner and loved the addition of the cayenne pepper. Very creamy and rich and I will definitely make again.

Green Chile Frittata
I had a similar recipe many years ago and lost track of it. I wanted to bake the frittata in a 7 x 11 pan so only used 8 eggs and left everything else the same. Came out great and we loved it. With my old recipe I found that it was so versatile, I could put pepperoni on top, or asparagus spears or whatever you have on hand. Really good and easy recipe.
