I have a week off of work, so I decided to start my spring cleaning today. I figured I'd get the worst room out of the way first, which would be the kitchen. I organized all my cupboards and drawers, which was quite the task. My worst cupboard is the spice cupboard. It is always a disaster.… MORE

About this Cook
I live in southern Minnesota and work as a registered nurse at our local hospital. I'm married and have a dog. I love cooking, baking, shopping, going fishing with my husband, playing games, watching TV, reading, and going to our family's cabin up north on the lake.
My favorite things to cook
Pasta, breads, appetizers/dips, breakfast, crockpot meals, mexican food, desserts
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom never really cooked much when I was growing up. If she did it was something out of a box or some sort of frozen dinner. My grandma on the other hand always made everything from scratch, and I loved eating at her house. I guess that's why I try to make homemade food as much as possible. It just tastes so much better.

Velvety Pumpkin Soup With Blue Cheese and Bacon
Wow! A creamy pumpkin soup with a big spicy kick! I did not top with the blue cheese and bacon, because I did not have any on hand, but it was still delicious on its own with a handful of croutons. I first melted the butter and sauteed the shallot for a couple minutes over medium heat. Then added remaining ingredients, brought to a bubble, then reduced heat to low and simmered for 10 minutes.

Crunchy Pumpkin Pie Granola
I enjoyed this recipe. Does not taste like pumpkin pie but has that nice pumpkiny spice. I followed the advice of some other reviewers and turned the heat up to 300 for the last 20 minutes. I would not recommend doing this, as the granola came out a little too crunchy. If it doesn't seem crisp enough after 1 hour at 250, I would just let it bake a few minutes longer. Also, I used all craisin's for the fruit.

Katie Lee's Spiced Nuts 'n Chex(R) Mix
Very disappointed. I stirred after 2 minutes and everything seemed fine, but after 4 minutes the mix was burned beyond repair. You really need to keep a close eye on it and stir more frequently. I wish there would have been instructions on how to make in the oven, because I do think the flavor combinations sound delicious.
