About this Cook
Hi, Don't know what to say about me. Love to laugh. Play card games with friends. Enjoy taking college courses in my free time, try to take one per semester at the community College if I can. I am a Silver/gold smith who does one of a kind jewelry pieces. I also paint and do small sculpture. Married to a great man since 1984. No kidlings, but I do have a kitty-cat friend.
My favorite things to cook
Really have always enjoyed baking. But am finding I really like to cook things with veggies, I enjoy cutting stuff up, get to pretend I am Emeril for a bit. It also seems like if it makes the kitchen a mess I like doing it. (Grin)
My favorite family cooking traditions
I miss the big family thanksgivings of my childhood. Watching my Gang-Gang(grandma) bake pies. I watched her for hours. Loved to watch her hands work. I miss her, I love to bake pies at thanksgiving in Gang's pie pans.
My cooking triumphs
Making cabbage buns that taste just like my husband remembers his grandma's
My cooking tragedies
The first turkey I ever made. I did not know to thaw it first so I baked it with the baggies of stuff in it. I tell you what, melted plastic bags of giblets do not make good turkey stuffing and is NOT good eats..........LOL

Mexican-Style Goulash
Thought I had tomato sauce,turned out not to, did have taco sauce. Made a great substitution and did not have the blandness problem others talked about. Turned out very good. Very good spice combo with the oregano and chili powder. Thanks for a good recipe.

Reunion Meatballs
Thumbs Way Up for this one. My husband and I both LOVED them. I followed the recipe, all but scaling it to half as it is just the two of us. I used hickory smoked bacon and it added just a hint of smokiness that was nice. Served them with boiled new potatoes in a garlic butter, and green beans.Thanks for a great recipe!!!! I will be making these a couple of times a month from now on.

Chicken Noodle Casserole
I did not care for the cheese and the Savory together. I tasted the sauce before adding the cheese, it was a nice cream sauce and the savory added a nice "something". So I am rating it on the sauce before adding the cheese. I will leave out the cheese or try a milder cheese like a mozzarella next time. The cream sauce before the cheese is lovely.
