About this Cook
I am a married stay-at-home-mom of six. My husband and I have been together for 17 years. I have recently returned to school to finish my education--working on my B.A. I love to cook, especially baking, and my husband and children are my biggest fans =]
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake everything from breads, pies, cookies to fancy cakes! I love Thanksgiving cooking too. I have been told that my lasagna and eggplant parm. is surpassable by no one =]
My favorite family cooking traditions
Thanksgiving is a feast at my house and the most anticipated side dish is my cranberry-sausage stuffing. Also, I do Christmas brunch with a large selection of breakfast treats.
My cooking triumphs
I had made roast leg of lamb for the first time. I put cloves of garlic on the bottom shelf of the oven to cook with the lamb and then made garlic spread for toasted French bread. It was really delicious. The lamb was cooked to perfection.
My cooking tragedies
I still have not mastered eggnog. The last time I made it, the kids wanted to know why it had lumps =] And my jelly apples could have been used as weapons they were so hard.

Slow Cooked Corned Beef for Sandwiches
This is the only way I make my corned beef. I usually use a stout ale, and I will say that I have never used that much peppercorns, but that is just me. I cook my cabbage in the reserved liquid but never my potatoes because they soak up too much of the salty flavor. One year I made a brown sugar glaze and brushed it on top of the finished meat and then baked it in the oven for a bit to seal it on the beef. It was excellent, but it does require extra time and effort.

Amazingly Easy Irish Soda Bread
I make this recipe every year at my house, and it is a much anticipated treat. I prefer this to the "Irresistable Irish Soda Bread" recipe due to the fact that it has such a wonferful texture. It is worth the kneading.

Egg in a Boat
My dad used to make this for me and my siblings when we were younger. We called it "egg in the toast." He did not brown the bread in the frying pan; instead, he popped it in the toaster so it was lightly toasted, and then he placed the toast in the pan and put the egg in the middle. He would flip the toast once the egg cooked a bit on the bottom. The toast would absorb the butter and it would be nice and crispy, not soggy.
