About this Cook
I love searching recipes on the Internet and 99% of the time it is with Allrecipes.com. (No kidding!) I love reading the reviews, too. I value the fact that most of the time, I can read a recipe/reviews and only try it if it seems right. I have far more successes than failures. I have a binder of favorite recipes (successes). Even with company coming over, I know I should pull out my success binder but I often have been known to try one to four new dishes on my company. Mom would not approve; I often ignore her voice. Most of time I will follow the new recipe to a "T" but have been known to even tweek it on the first try. I love to cook!!!
My favorite things to cook
Healthy, mostly fresh vegetables, substituting ground turkey for ground beef, no deep fried foods.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I cook using sale items. It's a challenge.

Old-World Cabbage Soup
5 stars with slight tweeking ..... could not imagine ketchup in soup so I omitted it. (No problem) I added 2 large cloves of garlic (yum) and added 2 cans of drained red beans = yes. Next time I will add some cooked ground turkey and only used one can of beans.. Also, there is no need to microwave the veggies.

Sweet and Sour Meatballs II
The sauce makes this recipe ..... the meatballs are dull. Next time I will add some herbs to the meatball recipe. I am disappointed with the high calorie content but sometimes we just have to SPLURGE!! I used ground turkey and Gluten Free bread crumbs. I buy a lot of ground turkey when it goes on sale ..... it's great to have a REAL NICE 'change of pace' recipe.
