About this Cook
I rarely eat out. Honestly, I can cook most foods better, cheaper and healthier than restaurants. I cook dinner 5-6 nights per week (leftovers the other nights), plus pack breakfast and lunch for my husband and I for work 5 days per week. I'm in the kitchen a lot - so I better like it.
My favorite things to cook
Pot roast, hot sandwiches, soups, pies, casseroles.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My grandmother's famous "Grannie Annie" cream pies. She owned a small-town cafe 50 years ago and old timers still talk about those pies. Mine are almost as good.
My cooking triumphs
Cooking fast - get out of my way in the kitchen, I'm a whirlwind. And finding this website so I have access to endless ideas for dinner.
My cooking tragedies
I STILL cannot master the perfect meringue for my cream pies.

Ukrainian Cabbage Rolls
This is a wonderful recipe and matches very closely to what my Ukranian Mother-in-law made except she added ground beef which is added raw to the cooked rice. The key is to keep the filling simple. Not too much ground beef - no more than 50/50 ratio meat to rice. The cabbage and tomatoe sauce (instead of tomotoe juice) provides plenty of flavor without going overboard with the filling. Then, of couse, you must serve with sour cream. YUMMMMM!

World's Best Lasagna
I'm not experienced at making lasagna so I followed the recipe exactly. We felt it was quite bland. Next time I'll follow some of the other suggestion and make changes, more seasoning and more cheese - but then it's not this recipe anymore, is it?

Sweet, Sticky and Spicy Chicken
Very good recipe. I followed the sauce recipe exactly using Rooster sauce as the hot sauce. It was pretty spicy, next time I'll use 1 tbsp. I thought it might be too sweet, but not at all - it was perfect. Adding orange juice and zest or adding toasted sesame seeds would be nice variations I'll try later.
