About this Cook
I'm celebrating my 25th wedding anniversary this month. My husband and I have been blessed with two wonderful children; a 14-year-old son and a 7-year-old daughter. Both love attending their Christian schools. I'm a former HR executive and am now enjoying being a stay-at-home mom. I enjoy writing bible studies and leading discussion groups. My goal this next year is to get published.
My favorite things to cook
Baking is my favorite thing to do in the kitchen, but since we can't live on cookies alone, I enjoy trying all sorts of recipes.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Every Christmas our family gathers and we spend a weekend baking cookies and making candy. My sisters-in-law & mother-in-law spend the night with their families. The kids enjoy spending time together playing and frequently stop by the kitchen to "help" and sample. We box up our goodies and deliver the gifts to our friends, church family, co-workers, etc. It's so much fun!

Slow Cooker Vegetable Soup
I had a sirloin steak left over from the grill and was looking for a way to use it up. This worked beautifully. I cubed the steak, added a packet of Au Jus mix and water and let it simmer. Meanwhile, I diced onions, celery and carrots and sauted in olive oil. When the veggies were soft, I added them to the beef mixture. I chopped three potatoes and added them as well. Then tossed in a cam of diced tomatoes, green beans and corn. Seasoned with basil and oregano and stirred in ketchup. Even my veggie-hating son ate it up!

Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff
I tested this recipe on three different families. My hubby made "yummy" sounds as he ate it. I took it to a friend, and she loved it too. We had a visiting 10-year-old for dinner, and he went home raving about it. His mom asked for the recipe. That's a winner in my book! I used left-over roasted chicken and mixed it all together on the stove-top.
