About this Cook
I'm relatively new to cooking after 20 years of long commutes and too much work - now I'm starting over and really enjoying myself!
My favorite things to cook
So many choices...I think things that I can cook in the crockpot - I love that you can dump a whole bunch of ingredients in and something wonderful comes out at the end :)
My cooking tragedies
I have indeed burned boiled eggs in the past -once- trust me you Don't want to do that! New pan - all windows open - and your cats won't speak to you for days... ;)

Beef and Irish Stout Stew
my fave beef stew recipe to date - I have the pre-cut meat (just put it in a freezer bag with flout and montreal meat seasoning and shook it up, browned it in some canola oil and marsala wine and onion, added that to the crockpot, then used a bottle of guiness and beef broth and worcestershire sauce in the pan, poured that in the pot with 2 cloves garlic, mushrooms, a rutabaga (lg round turnip), carrots, yukon gold potatoes, celery, 3 bay leaves, paprika filled until my crockpot is to the brim - will serve with Irish champ -yum! Thanks Want2hike!

Mock Tuna Salad
Love it! (I agree that it doesn't taste like tuna - but who cares - it's Yummy!) I mashed the chickpeas with a fork for texture, added helman's olive oil mayo, dill, garlic powder, curry and a little bit of pickle juice (I don't like sweet relish). Then I added a piece of cheddar and two pieces of bread and made a tuna melt on my George Forman grill - Yummmmm
