About this Cook
I am a happily married stay-at-home mom with two delightful children. I love to volunteer at their schools. I'm into music, reading and working out at the health club.
My favorite things to cook
Gotta be cookies, now that I have my new kitchen and my pantry is right at my elbow, instead of 35 feet away in the laundry room. So it's good that I like to work out!
My favorite family cooking traditions
The date nut cake at Christmas time, having the children get involved in cooking at an early age, roasting turkey (love the aroma!) for holidays, Dad's hamburgers on Saturday nights.
My cooking triumphs
My main triumph is getting dinner on the table every night. We can't afford to eat out much, or even afford fast food. No one told me that one of the hardest things about being a parent was coming up with dinner ideas, night after night after night.

Turkey Burger Pie
I read a lot of reviews and made my own version of this. Ground turkey is pretty bland on its own. I used taco seasoning to season it up some. I also grated two small zucchini and added that to the meat as I browned it. After using the taco seasoning mix and adding the water, it had to cook somewhat longer than usual because the zucchini added extra liquid (even after draining). I used 1 cup Bisquick, two eggs, and 1 1/4 cup almond milk (we're lactose intolerant) for the topping. Both picky kids liked this, especially after I called it 'taco pie' instead of turkey burger pie. It's an easy recipe to adapt to your own tastes.

Zucchini Herb Casserole
I don't remember if I've reviewed this or not, but it was wonderful. My husband will actually eat zucchini, if it's served to him in this dish. I have changed a couple of things: I make brown rice, and I make more of it (2 to 3 cups cooked) so I can make this a vegetarian main dish, and I use less cheese, so it's not quite so fattening. Seasoning is perfect as it stands.

Bev's Chocolate Pie
I only gave this four stars because the texture is a little odd. However, it's delicious. I'm lactose intolerant, so I tried substituting unsweetened almond milk, original, and adding one tbsp cornstarch. Set up beautifully! A dense fudgy chocolate pie, rich and sweet.
