   The two people I have learned the most from in my cooking life, have been my Grandpa, and my Aunt Shawna.  My grandpa is the kind of cook who doesn't have a single recipe book in the house, and I have yet to see him use the one set of measuring cups he does… MORE

About this Cook
I have four adorable corgis that I love more than anything, even my fiance' ; )
My favorite things to cook
Love to cook chicken marsala, really any kind of pasta. Love to make enchiladas and experiment with different kinds of tacos (not the storebought hard shells yuck!). I like any recipe with lots of chopping, I am in love with my chef's knife : )
My favorite family cooking traditions
Throw a buncha stuff in a pot and make soup!
My cooking triumphs
I am not so good at baking but last year I ROCKED the chirstmas cookies!! Peanut butter kisses, chocolate terds (not really their name haha) snickerdoodles and of course pretty sugar cookies :) EDIT- My new cooking triumph, SUSHI! Never thought I could master the art but man am I getting close! Yum yum
My cooking tragedies
I once mixed up the salt and sugar when baking chocolate chip cookies....wow

Salisbury Steak
I read a lot of mixed reviews for this recipe, but decided to take the plunge and try it for myself, and I am glad that I did! These were soooo yummy! I doubled the sauce to have gravy for our mashed potatos, and added mushrooms to the pan while the patties were simmering. They turned out so juicy and moist, the sauce was delicious! Maybe a little bit on the salty side, but hey, it's condensed soup. We had some unexpected dinner guests over and everyone raved about this dish! Thanks for the awesome recipe!

Scrumptious Frosted Fudgy Brownies
TEN STARS!! BEST brownie's I have EVER had, let alone made! I had to share them with my family for fear of making myself sick from a chocolate overdose. I seriously could have ate the whole pan. Thanks Celeste! My search for the perfect brownie is OVER!

Bake Sale Lemon Bars
These lemon bars were okay. Nothing too spectacular. I followed the recipe exact. I had a huge issue with my crust sticking, I did use butter to grease the pan so maybe that was my problem? Also didn't feel like they were "lemony" enough. I used 4 fresh lemons which gave me just over 1/4 cup, plus the zest from one of the lemons. I will probably try to make these again, but will increase the lemon juice, and add an extra egg yolk.
