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.

Perfect Baked Potato
I have made a this recipe for years. I scrub potatoes, poke holes ALL over them, rub them well with olive oil, shake in a bag using Jane's Crazy Mixed Up Seasonings (very good seasoned salt/pepper combo), then wrap each potato individually in aluminum foil. This keeps the potato moist on the inside and seals in the seasonings. Place directly on oven rack in preheated 400 degree oven for 1 hour. You will need NO additional salt/pepper/butter etc. for a healthier potato. I, however, like it well adorned and put shredded cheese, sour cream and bacon bits on top for a truly smothered and fattening baked potato. Enjoy!

Blue Cheese Garlic Dip
This was pretty good, but I added a few things that my husband said made it great! I brought it to a party and it was gone in a flash, with everyone (guys too) asking for the recipe! Add: 1 pkg. (3 oz) real bacon bits, 2 TBS dried minced onion, 1 can (8 oz) tiny shrimp (rinsed & drained), 1/4 cup sour cream and 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce. I also added a little more milk as it was too thick. Make sure you add the shrimp & bacon AFTER you blend the other ingredients, and fold them in. If you already like this dip, try it my way and you'll LOVE it!
