About this Cook
I work full time, but manage to find time to cook delicious and nutritious meals for my son and me. We have a dog and a cat, who never complain about the table scraps.
My favorite things to cook
I simply love to cook - either old stand-by's or new recipes. I'm trying to "cook healthy" by cutting back on fats and salts, so I've been doing a lot of experimenting. I've been pleased with the results.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I was raised with Sunday pot roasts and lots of desserts. Sunday is still my major day to cook, and I share all the sweets with my co-workers.
My cooking triumphs
Seafood is becoming one of my favorite foods to cook and I'm very pleased with the results of some of my experiments. I also love soups and I'm willing to try something new every weekend.
My cooking tragedies
I learned the hard way not to put salt in my pinto beans until AFTER they are cooked!

Cherries in the Snow Cake I
I don't care for pudding as cake icing, especially combining vanilla pudding and white cake. It didn't have a lot of flavor. I prefer cakes to have a richer flavor and texture. It might be considered a light, summer-time cake, but because of the name, I made it in the winter and it was disappointing.

Wisconsin Native's Beer Cheese Soup
Against my better judgment, I followed the instructions exactly. The finely chopped vegetables never got very soft and I cooked them for about 30 minutes. It smelled great, but the texture was disappointing. We ended up straining out the vegetables. I used a bottle of Sam Adams Boston Ale, but it was a little bitter. I will make this again, but with the following 2 changes. I will saute the vegetables in butter until they are extremely soft, then I will simmer in the broth and a pale ale.

No Mayo Tuna Salad
I think this is a great, healthy alternative to the fat-laden mayo versions, especially since I don't care for the low-fat or fat-free varieties. I sometimes add lemon pepper and green onion, just for added flavor. For more crunch, I sometimes add chopped celery.
