About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
There are just far too many to name. Just about anything that contains cheese will be my favorite. I also enjoy baking a variety of desserts. Nothing can top all the compliments that come with them :).

Artichoke Chicken
My boyfriend and I loved this! I did make my own changes though. I cooked up some rice and added that under the chicken breasts. I mixed a small amount of lemon juice into the rice I butterflied two breasts to make four smaller ones. I used just a few marinated artichoke hearts (I have a huge jar from Costco). I added minced fresh garlic and fresh italian seasoning. I used 1/2 mayo and 1/2 sour cream with just a bit more of the lemon juice. Browned the top at the end and WALA! Heaven!

Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup
I make this soup all the time! It's everyones favorite! I di however make fresh enchilada sauce, since I hate the canned version. I use a roasted chicken, homemade roasted tomatillo enchilada sauce, all chicken broth instead of water and cook it overnight. It gets better with every day you have leftovers. I make huge batches and take whatever the boyfriend doesn't eat to work!

Golden Rum Cake
I have to rate this 5 stars simply because it is the exact same recipe as the Irish Cream Bundt cake (except with rum). Both are delicious
