About this Cook
I cook for myself and my very picky boyfriend. I don't get as much time as I'd like to devote to cooking. I like to do most of my extravagant cooking on the weekends.
My favorite things to cook
I love baking. Cakes, muffins, breads, brownies. All the great stuff! I love making food that takes a lot of love. Lasagna, tomato sauce, meatballs, casseroles, turkey. And I LOVE breakfast!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Thanksgiving Turkey!
My cooking triumphs
I love when I'm able to replicate a good restaurant meal, and really make it sizzle. I'm a total "copy cat" when it comes to cooking and not at all creative or original.
My cooking tragedies
Can't really come up with anything, but that's only because I tend not to experiment on my own. Although, my boyfriend would say that time I added way too much paprika to the scrambled eggs. I disagree - they were fabulous!

Awesome Slow Cooker Pot Roast
Ok, I was a little disappointed, but I think it's my own fault. The meat was not tender at all. I listened to other reviews and did sear the meat before adding to the slow cooking. I cooked mine on high for 4 hours (I started it late in the day, that's why). Next time I will try on low for 8 hours. The gravy was fantastic. I only used 1 can of soup and it was plenty. I added carrots and potatoes as well. Will try again for sure.

Italian Spaghetti Sauce with Meatballs
This was very good. I think I might have rolled my meatballs a little tight because they were a little more firm that I wanted. I like a "looser" meatball. Maybe I should have cooked them for only 25 minutes. But other than they were delicious. I found the sauce to be a little sweet, but that might have been my fault, as I didn't have any bay leafs on hand and had to omit it. Other than that this was a very good recipe and I will make it again!

White Bread For The Bread Machine
Can't get anymore basic than this. If you're looking for plain white bread here it is. I followed the recipe exactly. I Would have given it 5 stars but I did find it a little salty. Will reduce the salt next time by a little bit.
