About this Cook
As one of my best friends would say, I am GRITS (Girl Raised In The South). Not ashamed of my southern accent at all! I grew up hanging out in the kitchen. I learn to cook from my mom, grandmother & aunts. We would make yummy meals and then play cards around the kitchen table. Happily married to my best friend Brian. I am originally from TN but right now I am living in KY. Will soon be moving to another state as soon as my husband gets his new assignment. I love to try new recipes, that is why I love this site.
My favorite things to cook
Everything except fried foods. I cannot fry for some odd reason! Oh except eggs! I love: Speghetti & Meatballs, Mac & Cheese, Shrimp, Chocolate Pie, Christmas Sugar Cookies, Brocolli Casserole, Hashbrown Casserole, Chicken & Dumplings, Mashed Potatoes, Meatloaf, Country Ham, Cheese Biscuits, Fried Eggs, Cheese Grits, Creamed Beef on Toast, Turnip Greens, Pecan Pie, Banana Bread, & anything with lots of cheese.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Every Thanksgiving weekend me and my mom make Christmas sugar cookies and freeze them so that they are ready to be iced the week of Christmas.
My cooking triumphs
Every time a meal turns out yummy it is a triumph for me!
My cooking tragedies
I have a bad habit of leaving bread in the oven too long! Also just cannot fry chicken or anything. Never works out.

Cauliflower With a Kick
I don't know what happened, but I didn't like this at all. Sorry. The texture was gritty. I don't think I should have added any milk...maybe cream cheese or something would have been better, but then it would take away from the healthiness of this dish. Won't make again.

Chicken Lasagna III
Fabulous! My husband told me that if I got the recipe off of the allrecipes website to give it five stars! I agree with him. I made it just as the receipt is written. The cottage cheese makes the recipe. It really does taste like a version of a lasagna. I always substitute the cheeses and sour cream for the fat free or low fat versions if I can to help around the waist line. Did turn the broil on for a few minutes at the end to get the cheese on top brown and a little crisp. Can't wait to eat the leftovers tonight!

Soft Oatmeal Cookies
My husband said they were the best oatmeal cookies he had ever had. I did add about a cup of raisins. The first batch I let chill about 45 minutes. Decided to see how it would do in the frig for longer so I left it overnight and made another batch the next day. And finally one more fresh batch on the third day. The dough kept nicely and I was able to have a fresh cookie for 3 days! Several days after being baked they have held up really well and are still very moist.
