About this Cook
I am a mom to an active teenager or soon to be one..arghh :o), work fulltime outside of the home, and a junior in college. So I'm always looking for delicious, quick and easy meals. I love this site and have used many recipes for many meals and parties.
My favorite things to cook
Because of my busy schedule, the crockpot has become my best friend for dinner. I love making my husband's favorite - pork roast with sauerkraut in my crockpot.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love spending Sundays with my family, my sister's family and my parents enjoying a good Korean meal. My mom is Korean and the food is awesome. My husband and brother-in-law are now hooked on Korean food.
My cooking triumphs
I had a dinner party using a teriyaki recipe from this site. One of my guest really loved it and asked me to make it for her wedding. I am not a professional caterer or do I want to be, but I did it for her. It was a hit with everyone and now I get asked to do parties now and then.
My cooking tragedies
I have had my ups and downs, but my "tragedy" just happend. The Vice President of our department hosted a Christmas party at her house this year. We were all to bring a dish. I thought I would try something new. I tried a crab dip from this site. It never did set well and was runny, but my husband, son and co-worker said it was good so I decided to serve it. I had 2/3rds of it left and people were polite, but it didn't go well at all. I was very disappointed. It was also a pricey waste of good ingredients.

Classic Chicken Noodle Soup
This is awesome and so easy. I added 2 cloves of diced garlic, salt and black pepper to the veggie mix and used 1 onion when making the soup base. I also added a bay leaf to the soup and removed it before serving. Used wheat noodles, omitted the peas (my son hates them) and served with a crusty white bread. It was just fantastic and hit the spot ona a cool fall Sunday night. Thank you for an awesome recipe.

Hot Crab Dip
I have been craving crab dip since I made another recipe from this site for a party that didn't turn out well. I was apprehensive about trying another one, but I did. I made this tonight just for a weekend snack during a snow storm for my family. This was awesome. The only changes I made were adding Old Bay instead of hot sauce and putting cheese on top of the dip. I also did not use a 9X13, too big of a dish for this. I don't see how it would feed 40 though.

After-Thanksgiving Turkey Soup
This was an awesome soup. I did not use fat free half and half and it was so creamy. I also did not add celery since my son doesn't like it, but it turned out just great. I also added a 1/2 cup more of rice - it just seem to need more rice. My family thought this was a great soup. Even my son, who isn't a big fan of soups, loved it. Thanks for a great recipe - this one is definitely a keeper.
