About this Cook
My interest in cooking healthy and flavorful using spices came from a dear Indian friend who used to live near us. Since then my cooking/baking experience has grown like crazy...even to the point of owning my own food store.
My favorite things to cook
Healthy, fresh, local and organic using lots of spices and herbs instead of fats. I love searching for new recipes to use whatever I have on hand or buy at our local farmers market.

Never Bitter Lemonade
I gave it a 5 star rating because the salt was an excellent idea to keep it from tasting bitter. I reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup and was still plenty sweet. We like our lemonade a little more lemony so adding more lemon juice was better for us.....great recipe though...I'm glad I tried it!

Grilled Bacon Jalapeno Wraps
I have also made this recipe with brats squeezed out of the casing, seasoned with a spicy seasoning (we like Rhino seasoning...a locally made seasoning from the Rine brothers...not sure if they offer it on the web), then stuffed inside the pepper before wrapping with bacon as my husband hates cream cheese. Grilling them takes most of the heat out if you've removed the seeds and membrane....oh my! It makes me hungry for these as I type!

Lemon-Butter Snow Peas
Very good recipe. I was on a last-minute search for a dish for supper tonight when I came to this site (which always has delicious dishes). This one was easy, using ingredients you normally always on hand. Would go great with any meat!
