About this Cook
I'm the mother of triplet daughters . I'm a critical care nurse by background, and I work fulltime as a hospice nurse. I love to cook and bake. I love to eat but I'm being really calorie-conscious these days so I try to practice portion control so I don't have to eliminate all the good stuff from my diet. I also like to scrapbook and read, time permitting! I like to find old cookbooks to add to my collection. My husband and I have too many cats (as we got married in September and he had 3 and I had 3 so we are now the cat family Brady Bunch). We also have a dog named Greta. I'm majorly addicted to recipes. I'm working on producing a cookbook for my daughters for when they move on to their own households.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Paska bread at Easter. We're traditional turkey at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Curried Scrambled Egg
Very quick & easy and and assuaged my curry craving. I added a touch of salt as I am NOT on a low salt diet and I cannot eat eggs without it. I didn't have chives; I used parsley. Definitely will be making these again!

Spicy Kielbasa Soup
Delicious! I made it on Sunday and had it on Monday so the flavors really had time to blend. I used a pound of skinless kielbasa and 2 cans of great northern beans. I used chopped tomatoes, not stewed (based on what I had on hand). I did not have a zucchini so I just omitted it. ALSO I made it on the stovetop, not the crockpot. I will be making this again & again.

Ham Loaf I
I've never had ham loaf before but my husband is from southeastern PA (York) and he had it as a lad and young man. So I tried this recipe and said it was right on. So thank you! I also enjoyed it and will be making this again. I only had 1 pound of ground pork so I used that. It was a bit crumbly so maybe that was from using not quite enough ground pork.
