About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
I love to try new things. I have always been able to taste and recreate. Now that I have have the time, I am trying to follow recipes. It started 5 years ago when my daughter in law assigned everyone a recipe from a Bon Appetite Thanksgiving menu.The family made bets that I could and would recreate the taste, but that I could not follow it to the letter...I did, and the good tasting ones I put on a diet, changed in other words, and continue to get requests for.
My cooking tragedies
I had been looking for and trying to recreate a stuffed baked flounder, with crab and white wine sauce. Cracked the crab and thought it had stuffing in it...$$$$$ and it was awful!!!

Balsamic-Glazed Salmon Fillets
I added liquid smoke to the glaze. Good basic recipie, I also use non stick foil. HINT: since I use a lot of non stick foil, (just like OIL,) it can be reused. I for this I use the reused saved foil, then discard.

High Temperature Eye-of-Round Roast
I prep the roast with kosher salt rub, cover with moist kitchen towel pop in coldest part of fridge for 2-3 days. WEIGH the meat before, and after!!!! The timing is to finished meat weight. Don't like so much salt..brush, or rince it off, pat dry, season, or not. Bring meat out for an hour or so prior to cooking!! Be sure of your oven temps. EZ~~

Yummy Honey Chicken Kabobs
This is so, so basic...all reviews add and confirm the value of this recipe...I want to add my 2 cents: Double ok, I make about 3or4 pounds of the veggies, because I eat, and love them, I cut them in half and/even slices. I spray with olive oil spray***before***I maranate, this is to restrict the calories and mushyness. I grill them (veggies) for the BBQ lines, and baste (dip in sauce). I let them drip dry, and freez on a cookie sheet, then put in plastic bags..& store. The veggies go fast, watch them, you want them undercooked for freezing, and crip if you serve them as a side dish...try this with some fruit too. Large, even sized pieces. Jagged is ok, just go for the grill lines. dip in lemon, or lime or whatever you have for a change. I make many things in advance, and can always put something great together in the time it takes to heat the grill.
