About this Cook
professional, Mom of two children
My favorite things to cook
Mexican, pasta dishes, cakes for family birthdays/special occasions, cookies
My favorite family cooking traditions
Nowadays I like to experiment and try all sorts of new things. I like to try new spices/flavors. My kids will try anything I make at least once.
My cooking triumphs
Anytime my kids tell me that I should quit my job and be a chef, and several recipes on this site have earned me such kind praise. They include garlic cheddar chicken, buffalo wing chili, chili cheese fries and various cakes and cookies.
My cooking tragedies
No real catastrophes, but many minor failed attempts according to the family, lol

Chicken Dumpling Strips
This was simpler than I thought it would be. Kids really liked the 'square' dumplings. Used leftover cooked chicken and veggies (cooked onions, celery, peppers, carrots) for the soup.

Jimmy Dean Sausage Crostini
Used Jimmy Dean crumbles..skipped the fresh basil (didnt have any) but added some dried Italian seasoning instead. Want to make it again w/ the fresh basil, and with the hot sausage like another reviewer mentioned.

McCormick(R) White Chocolate Kissed Gingerbread Cookies
These had a different spiciness to them than the soft gingersnaps I always make from this site. These looked lovely, but I myself didn't love it. Maybe it was the white chocolate kiss. I will make them again, may try a caramel kiss like another reviewer suggested.
