About this Cook
I am a 40 year old lady with a passion for cooking!! My dream would be to go to culinery school. Sometimes I wish I would have discolvered my passion for cooking when I was younger so I would have had the drive to go and the flexibility to move somewhere that had a culinery school. At any rate, I don't want to be a chef; just want to please people with my fantastic food!!
My favorite things to cook
My favorite things to cook would be anything that allows me to be really creative and I like to try things that utilize steps that I have seen on TV Food Network. I have found out that those things aren't as difficult as they look!!
My favorite family cooking traditions
I remember baking and canning with my grandma as a child. I really just like having everyone in the kitchen sitting around talking and laughing as the cooking is being done!!
My cooking triumphs
I have been able to make difficult dishes that require steps that I never thought would be possible!!
My cooking tragedies
Oh my gosh!! There have been so many but the worst thing I think I have ever made (and I was SO excited about this dish too!) was Tarragon Chicken. I don't know if I did something wrong with the recipe or added something I shouldn't have or missed something but it was just terrible!!

Tender Beef Brisket
Wonderful recipe!! I cooked it in a 5qt slow cooker and cooked it on high for 1 hour and then on low for 4 hours and it came out tender and juicy!! When I cooked the juices in the saucepan I added a teaspoon of cold water mixed with a teaspoon of cornstarch to thicken the juices more...there was no need to add milk since it did not thicken it that much. My exchange student from Germany LOVED it as well as the rest of my family!!
