About this Cook
I am 50 + years old, female. 1 son (28). Live in Minnesota. Am an Admin & Production Assist. for a construction firm.
My favorite things to cook
Spaghetti, Lasagna, Roast Beef w/Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Paige's Kick Butt Eggs, Sausage Stuffing, Potato Salad, Homemade Chowmein and Chocolate Cherry Cake are what I'm known for, among other dishes. (Not served at the same time of course!)
My favorite family cooking traditions
I learned to cook from my Grandmother, the old fashioned way, so although I try cook from scratch, I'm not above using some prepared items.
My cooking triumphs
I don't mean to brag, but I've had quite a few.
My cooking tragedies
Once, I made a Tuna Casserole for dinner. As we were eating, my son commented, "Mom, somethings different about this". We all agreed, it tasted different. Finally, it occurred to me. I FORGOT to add the Tuna!! We all thought that was too funny. I did add the Tuna then, so all ended well.

Chicken-Baked Chops
Just made these for dinner tonight. Excellent pork chops! I used boneless ones as that's what I had on hand. Used milk vs water and added onion & garlic powder to the soup mixture. Put the browned chops on a bed of sliced Valida onions and poured the soup mixture over all. They were tender, moist and juicy and the gravy was just wonderful! Served them with garlic noodles and sweet corn. Great Sunday dinner! Will be making these again and again. Thanks for the recipe!

Home-Style Scalloped Potatoes
Excellent recipe! Just added some garlic and onion. Adding cheeses changes these from scalloped potatoes to au gratin potatoes so those that did this did not have scalloped potatoes. Just sayin'.

Crumb-Coated Chicken Thighs
Really good! I've made them several times but never rated this recipe for some reason. I don't use curry, instead I use ground ginger and add some garlic & onion powder to the mixture. I also spray the tops with butter flavored cooking spray after I turn them. Wonderful!
