About this Cook
I am a happily married, stay at home mom of three boys ages 10,9 and 4. I enjoy the differences in my kids personalities. I love to travel and meet people from all over the world. I also love to workout and esp. go to aerobics class.
My favorite things to cook
I like quick and easy but tasty family dinners that my boys will eat. I have been steadily becoming a better cook in the 12 years I've been married and cooking for my family. I like to improvise by adding my own spices to dishes.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love making Christmas cookies. It's the time of year to take some extra time and make traditional Austrian and American treats. I love ground nut cookies and treats with Cranberries.
My cooking triumphs
My biggest accomplishment is getting a tasty, healthy dinner on the table at least 4-5 nights a week. I love when my kids eat broccoli and squash.
My cooking tragedies
I have been known to leave a cooling pot of stew or beans out all night because I got called away from cooking. What a waste!

Roasted Broccoli
I am always trying to find new ways to give my family their daily dose of vegetables. I followed others advice about the overspicing and didn't use steak seasoning or chili powder at all. Instead I used black pepper and my favorite garlic salt. It was very good and had a great texture.

Pesto Tuna Salad with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
I am a big fan of tuna, in fact I love it!! I also love pesto. Having said that, this is such a fun variation on tuna salad!! I love the flavor combination. I used homemade pesto that I thawed from the freezer and a 6.4 oz. pouch rather than a can of tuna. Other than that I didn't change anything. The more pesto the bettter in my opinion!!!

Fruit Dip III
this was such an easy recipe for a last minute party buffet! My guests really liked it. I left out the confectioner's sugar like another reviewer and it was still sweet and great!
