About this Cook
I am a stay at home mom and love my job! I've always enjoyed cooking and baking and hope to pass this love onto my children.
My favorite things to cook
I enjoy trying new flavours and recipes. I enjoy healthy options with the occasional "comfort food" craving. I mostly cook for my family but when the occasion arries for entertaining then I love to explore new tastes/recipes.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Holiday meals including all the delicious desserts that follow. We all love my Grandpa's cheesy mashed potatoes.
My cooking triumphs
I would have to say Mother's Day three years ago where I impressed all my guests with dutch potatoes, curled carrot salad, med/rare roast beef with whipped horseraddish sauce and cashew mixed vegetable medley.
My cooking tragedies
There are many of them from an easy burning the toast to having all my apetizers fall onto the floor once I opened the fridge (not a happy cook). As mentioned before, I generally like to try new things and often test them out on guests for the first time; thankfully I haven't had any horror stories from my guinea pigs!!!

Chicken and Broccoli Braid
The family all enjoyed this dish and I appreciated how easy it all came together. I did take another reviewers comments and used ranch dressing in-replace of the mayo. I also added mushrooms. Presentation was terrific and will most likely use this for when we company. Next time I will try adding other veggies also - asparagus, zuchinni and possibly even corn. Thanks for sharing this recipe, it was a thumbs up at our dining table :)

Chunky Monkey Pancakes
Great concept of combining banana and chocolate! We added peanut butter onto ours to complement the flavour (and I love PB). It was quite sweet for first thing in the morning but everyone around our breakfast table enjoyed them! Thanks for sharing :)

The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies
Defintetly the best sugar cookie I've ever baked! You do have to put your back into rolling them out because the dough is cold but it turns out great! Thanks for sharing this fab recipe =)
