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!

Mini Pineapple Upside-Down Cakes
Very good recipe, although I was lazy and used a 9x13 pan. I used pineapple tidbits plus the cherries and when I turned it over, it looked like stained glass. Beautiful! It is best warm.

Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies
Followed the recipe almost exactly and the cookies were the incredibly soft kind. I had frozen 4 ripe bananas and after thawing them, they fit in a cup. If you have never frozen bananas, they turn black and when they thaw, they almost liquify, but it really enhances the flavor of the cookies. Be sure to thaw them in a container. Then I added 1 cup of peanut butter and called them the Elvis cookie! Peanut butter, banana and chocolate chips - Awesome!

Irish Soda Bread
This didn't work for me and I've been baking for many years. Is it supposed to turn out like a giant, tough biscuit? The first time I try a recipe, I follow it exactly. If it turns out good, I will at least be sure of what will happen if I make changes. This dough was too wet to work with and the end result tasted like a regular biscuit but the texture was just wrong. I won't mess with this recipe again. There are better bread recipes out there.
