About this Cook

My name is Crystal & I am a homeschool mom of 3 & married to a wonderful man. I also run MrsHappyHomemaker.com & am the cooking expert for Life Around Home along with being a field editor for Taste of Home magazine.

My favorite things to cook

Comfort food! You know - all the food thats bad for you!

My favorite family cooking traditions

Christmas dinner, and all the treats that go with it!

My cooking triumphs

My recipe for fried chicken - its a hit every time! Also, when I finally got the knack of making and assembling tamales - that was another major one!

My cooking tragedies

Trying some Peanut Butter Thai Chicken from this site. It was wretched, and I still have nightmares! I should have known better to have cooked it! Peanut butter goes on sandwiches and chocolate, not on chicken! Chicken is for frying in a cast iron!!

Pizza Pasta

The reason I gave it 3 stars is because it tasted nothing like pizza... all we tasted was spaghetti. The beef overpowered the pepperoni & you only knew you were eating a piece of pepperoni if you saw it on your fork before putting it in your mouth. I think I will attempt this dish again, I will only use 1/2 pound of ground beef & double the pepperoni to 8oz & see if it makes it more like I would expect a 'pizza pasta' to taste.

Tater Tot Taco Salad

For what it was, this was pretty good. It was simple to make - great for a night where you gotta get dinner on the table, but don't have much time (or energy). I did add onions in with the beef when it was cooking, and did not add the olives to the top. I, instead, used diced green onions.
