About this Cook
Love to cook-sorta-but hate to grocery shop--I love to find recipes with ingredients that I have on hand!
My favorite things to cook
Dinner type dishes
My favorite family cooking traditions
My favorite family tradition is going out for Chinese food on Christmas Eve--how strange is that? My whole life, this is what we've done and we are carrying the torch for my children to take over the tradition also :)
My cooking triumphs
When I made a real cheesecake I thought I had 'arrived' !!!
My cooking tragedies
Trying to cook for my family and sneak in things into the recipe and being found out later--with nobody eating the dish I had prepared!

Country House Bed and Breakfast Casserole
Really great recipe! Used Morningstar sausage patties instead of ham for a veggie option, and it was dee-lish! Super easy recipe, and perfect for popping in the oven on Christmas morning like we did!

Janine's Best Banana Bread
Oh my stars! This is the BEST banana bread I have had in years! When I made my loaf, I combined the butter & sugar, and then in a separate bowl I used 4 instead of 3 VERY ripe bananas(would have thrown them out they were so black if I had not made this banana bread)and combined them with the beaten egg before adding to the butter/sugar mixture. I ended up baking mine for about 1 hr and 10 minutes, or until the toothpick came out clean. It popped right out of the pan and-well, YUM! Very moist and flavorful. Thank you Janine for a great recipe! (I added the picture so you can see what mine turned out looking like)

Snow on the Mountain II
I really liked this recipe, but my family wasn't that thrilled with the strange combination of foods...the flavors go well together even though they are so different...it is a 'fresh' tasting asian style flavor without being stir fried..really easy and quick to put together...the recipe calls for too much of the sauce I think, so next time I will cut that part iin half. I left out the pimentos and it was good without it, but the saltiness of the pimentos would probably be good too! Over all i really liked it and loved how quick it was put together. I will make it again, but likely not with my kids around :)
