Me (Yolanda) and My Friend, Cindy
About this Cook
My hubby is my best friend and my daughter (she's an adult) is my best, best friend! :)
My favorite things to cook
I cook just about everything these days.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I come from a traditional Hispanic family, therefore, Christmas is the big cooking time! Not so much baked goods but tamales, posole, red chile and the family's infamous "turkey spread sandwiches" (they go great with posole)!
My cooking triumphs
My green chile chicken enchiladas are to die for! :)
My cooking tragedies
I've had some mediocre dishes, but never really any disasterous ones!

Oven Pot Roast
Great recipe! I added garlic powder, paprika, and a little salt to the flour/pepper mixture (the flour is extremely important in this recipe). I didn't have any vermouth or white wine, so I used 3/4 c red wine... I figured it went better with beef anyway. I placed sliced onions under and over the roast before pouring the soup mixture on top... it gave the roast a really nice flavor. I put everything in a 13x9 baking pan, surrounded it with chunks of red potato and baby carrots, and covered it with foil. Absolutely delicious! Will be making this again.

Lazygirl's Ground Turkey Stroganoff
This was good but not great; easy recipe if you don't have time to put time and effort into a dish. I took other's advice and added fresh mushrooms.

Molly's Chicken
Very, very good! I actually added some sriracha hot sauce to the mix and oooooooo it really gave it some kick! Sweet, savory, and spicy all together in one dish... yum! Took the advice of others and used low sodium soy sauce. I also used chicken breasts and baked them rather than using the slow cooker. Since the breasts were large, I doubled the recipe (but not the soy sauce) to fully cover them with sauce in an 8" square baking dish. I served everything over brown rice and a side of fresh green beans. Will make this again!
