About this Cook
I am a mother of two, nurse, fundraising event coordinator for a local non-profit preschool and volunteer auction coordinator for Seattle Children's Hospital.
My favorite things to cook
BBQ Steak - quick 'n easy! I also tend to stick with Italian based dinners. I will get into baking spurts, where I bake daily creating more than my family can eat, but then as quickly as it came, the urge disapears!
My cooking triumphs
Not over cooking water! (Just joking!)
My cooking tragedies
The time the entire skillet of homemade spagetti sauce hit the kitchen floor.... a very sad day!

Juicy Roasted Chicken
This was a great recipe, thank you. I did add a few extra seasonings (celery salt & garlic) and more butter. The extra butter was not necessary afterall, there was a lot of fat/grease once I removed the chicken from the roasting pan. The drippings made for a lovely gravy. I added baby red potatoes (quartered), celery chunks, carrot chunks and onion to the roasting pan when I started cooking the chicken. The veggies got seasoned with the same as the bird. Everything was fabulous! Thank you for sharing this one, it's a keeper and the whole family raved about it.

Scallops with White Wine Sauce I
While I do not eat seafood, I do prepare it for those who do enjoy it. I rely heavily on other people's recipes to figure out what I am doing. I almost chose a different scallop recipe but thought twice and chose this one. Boy what a GREAT choice that was!! Here are the reviews: Tenderest, sweetest scallops my dad has ever had and he doesn't normally like scallops! He couldn't stay away from them!! My mom, a scallop lover, enjoyed every bite and thought about stealing the package of scallops that I set aside for her to take to my Grandfather. My honey also really enjoyed!! This recipe paired well with the pan-seared rockfish with lemon beurre blanc from foodtv.com. They have very similar sauces and I cooked both dishes at the same time, then served everything with steamed green beans and fresh green salad. Thank you for sharing this one, it IS A KEEPER!!!

Salmon with Lemon and Dill
While I don't eat seafood I do cook it for the family. This recipe received 5 stars from those eating it and 5 stars from me for it's total ease of preperation and cooking! Due to a limited salt diet I substituted the S&P with Mrs. Dash, but still used the garlic and dill. (Must admit- I didn't measure the spices though, I just sprinkled until it looked good.) Thanks for sharing, this one is a keeper!
