About this Cook
We are an active family with a love for food. We grill 90% of the year, and often our entire meals are grilled. We love to try anything, and dislike little.
My favorite things to cook
Since we grill so much I am a pro at grilling meats. I would deflate my husband's ego if he knew this, but I think I grill mets better than he does. But I'll give him potatoes - that man can grill the perfect potatoes you ever ate!! I do love baking, but I am awaiting a very necessary kitchen remodel that will allow me the freedom to bake the things I'd like.
My favorite family cooking traditions
In my family? Not many - there are a few gems, like Grandma's Famous Burnt Beans and Mommy's Famous Hamburger Hash, but I'd have to say my favorite is our standard Keilbasa, Saurkraut & Mashed Potatoes dinner. Otherwise, no real traditions in my family, so I'm hoping to start some of my own.
My cooking triumphs
I'm getting really good at baked goods - especially cookies. So, I'd say that generally is what my cooking triumph is thus far.
My cooking tragedies
Well, I have a bad habit of not tasting things before I serve them - my husband can't comprehend how I make food without tasting it. Don't ask, because I don't know. But, needless to say, it has resulted in a few foul tasting mishaps that have been quickly taken off the dinner table to be replaced by whatever is in the pantry.

Creamy Potato Leek Soup II
Didn't add a single seasoning and followed the recipe EXCEPT: I pureed the potatoes once tender with an immersion blender. You should make the bacon and saute the leeks well ahead; it slowed me up and the potatoes got a little gluey. But it was unbelievably delish! VERY hearty. Soooo good.

Paprika Chicken with Mushrooms
This a fairly good. We did like it, but felt it was missing something. It would be much better if you added sour cream and/or milk to the sauce to make a paprika cream sauce. I, too used minced galric in place of the garlic salt which has a much fresher taste. The onions and mushrooms were divine.
