About this Cook
I work full time, and 'mom' full time, so I'm always looking for kid-pleasing, husband-pleasing, and most of all, quick and easy recipes (mom pleasing!).
My favorite things to cook
I just love to cook! I do pastas and chicken the most, but I'm always looking to try new things. Right now I'm looking for some good fish recipes to add to my regular rotation. Which really isn't regular at all, because I'm always trying new recipes...
My favorite family cooking traditions
Wish I had some...right now, my ONLY family cooking tradition is just getting dinner on the table at a reasonable hour every night!
My cooking triumphs
I'd have to say my biggest cooking triumph to date is the ham I cooked yesterday (Easter 2006) using Colleen's recipe for honey glazed ham. It was my first attempt at baking a ham, and it turned out FABULOUS!
My cooking tragedies
No major tragedies, just small errors is judgement, and things like getting caught up in laundry or breaking up a kid argument, and forgetting I needed to take something out of the oven or off the stove...

After-Thanksgiving Turkey Soup
really good! my only complaint would be that as the soup cools off, it got a little curdled looking...possibly I did something wrong, but I followed the recipe. However, regardless of that fact, the taste was really good and not at all like a typical soup that I would normally make. My kids and my husband all loved it.

Broiled Tilapia Parmesan
Made this tonight, everyone loved it! I read the reviews and made a few adjustments based on the recommendations. I sprinkled the fillets with Old Bay on both sides before cooking, and also cut the amount of butter to just less than half (about two tablespoons), and it was plenty. I didn't have a problem with the cheese mixture sliding off...there was a reviewer who mentioned that, but I left my mixture at room temperature until using it, so maybe that makes the difference. My husband has already asked me to make it again soon, thanks for the great recipe!

Tater Tot Casserole II
This was SO GOOD. Kids weren't too thrilled when they heard what we were having for dinner, but they did a complete 180 once they tried it. I followed the recipe, but wanted to turn it into more of a meal, so I added a pound of ground beef (browned it and sprinkled it on top) and mixed in a can of green beans with the soup, sour cream, and cheese. Came out fantastic, I think my kids will be asking for this one regularly.
