About this Cook
I was raised on Southern cooking accented with my mother's love for traditional French cuisine, and I love trying new flavors and exotic foods. Cooking is my way of expressing myself and showing others I care!
My favorite things to cook
Casseroles, skillet meals, slow cooker standbys, and any other quick "all in one" dish that fits into my busy schedule. I like Sandra Lee's "semi-homemade" philosophy of creating special meals from convenience foods - fits right into my lifestyle :-) Dessert is a top pick, too, but with a husband without much of a sweet tooth and a lack of time, I rarely fit sweets into my repertoire.

Barbeque Beef Casserole
This recipe was very attractive to me because of the ease of making it plus already having the ingredients in the house. I used 1 lb. ground turkey and a whole can of diced tomatoes with chilis, undrained. I added a dash of garlic powder, about 3/4 C. frozen whole kernel corn, and over half of an 18 oz. bottle of "original" flavor bbq sauce. My mixture was about the thickness of chili. I only used one box of cornbread mix, which was what I had on hand, and it was Jiffy brand (sweet). This created a crust about 1" thick, which was plenty for us. One reviewer cautioned against using sweet cornbread mixes, but I liked the way it tasted versus the zesty meat mixture. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by how easy and tasty this was, and I'll definitely make this again.

Cathy's Banana Bread
This bread has a great moist texture and tastes delicious. The combination of sour cream and bananas is perfect. It's also a great jumping-off point for your own personalized additions: walnuts, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, orange peel ... you can't go wrong! The recipe yielded 4 beautiful mini-loaves for me that were done in under 45 minutes. I recommend allowing your bread to cool slightly and then immediately wrap it up in plastic wrap to seal in moisture and taste. Delish :-)

Awesome Slow Cooker Pot Roast
This recipe makes a delicious roast with very little effort. Sometimes I like to add baby carrots and quartered red potatoes to create a meal-in-one. If you're a newcomer to cooking roasts or to slow cookers, this is a no-brainer with wonderful results -- try it!
