About this Cook
We have been married since December '06 and loving (almost) every minute of it. HA HA! Until I met my husband, I didn't cook much. He has helped my love for cooking to bloom! We belong to a bi-monthly cooking club which is lots of fun and a great way to meet new people. We also try to find fun dishes we can make together. Our city has a diverse population and we enjoy going to the many local ethnic markets for special ingredients. Plus it's just plain fun (and delicious) to see what people use all over the world in their food.

Picante Chicken
Easy and dee-lish! Perfect for 2 busy people like my hubby and I. I added 1 tsp of minced garlic and a few generous dashes of Red Hot. I will make this again but will try it in the crock pot like others have done. Thanks for sharing.

Creamy Chocolate Frosting
Very good. I added 2 more tablespoons of butter just because I like the buttery taste. Creamy and delicious!

Cream Cheese Kolacky
The cookies are so good! I've been making these for a few years usually at holiday time. But they are delicous year round. I've used boysenberry, raspberry and apricot jam. All work well. Also I cut mine with a round cookie cutter, fill them with jam and then close them around the edges with a fork....they kind of look like pierogi's. This is how my Poloish friend taught me to make them. Make a large batch, they go fast!
