About this Cook
School, work... blah.
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake just about anything - cookies, muffins, cupcakes, cakes, etc. I've just picked up cooking so nothing really to favor yet but I made the Cajun Potatoes from this site a few days ago and the boyfriend loved them. :)
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom, my sisters and I used to bake pound cake when we were young but since then my mom's moved away from carbs. :( Now I do cookies and now and then for them - Beth's Spicy Oatmeal cookies are a favorite.
My cooking triumphs
Not really as of yet but this Christmas I'm going to try and bake a cheesecake. Or mini cheesecakes. Stay tuned...
My cooking tragedies
A banana bread and carrot cake that both came out mushy. So sad. :(

Colleen's Slow Cooker Jambalaya
Followed the recipe as directed and it was a hit. The only changes I made was using turkey sausage and I added half a cup of rice with half a cup of broth and half a cup of water to cook it in and it turned out wonderfully. Bon appetite!

Baked Slow Cooker Chicken
Two words: fantastic and easy. I took the advice of other reviewers and rubbed the chicken on the outside and inside the skin with a mixture of olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder and poultry seasoning. I set the chicken in the slow cooker on a bed of celery, onions and carrots and two cups of stock. Chicken was so tender and flavorful - def a keeper! Bon appetite!

Marinated Greek Chicken Kabobs
Excellent! Used regular organic greek yogurt and added tomato paste and basil like other reviewers suggested and marinated overnight. I then seasoned roughly chopped red onion, mushrooms and green peppers with salt and steak seasoning and skewered them with the chicken and grilled on the BBQ. Turned out fantastic!
