About this Cook
I love to cook and with three boys (20,16 &15) I get to do a lot of it. We always have extra boys on the weekends and holidays, so I can cook man food very well. Interesting twist, my niece's five year old daughter just came to live with us, so I am relearning to cook for a child!
My favorite things to cook
Lots of comfort food. However, I have adapted a couple stir fry recipes from here, and my sons want to eat either a beef or chicken stir fry a couple times a week. The problem with this web site is that there are so many delicious recipes, that I try several out each week. I'm not known for one good dish, but the boys like eating here because there's always something new, and usually delicious!
My favorite family cooking traditions
No real traditions. My boys know how to cook and they alternate preparing a meal every Thursday night. They've been doing that since they were in elementary school. Looking forward to having Grace become a part of that tradition.
My cooking triumphs
We hold a Cinco De Mayo party for 60 people every year, and I prepare all the food from scratch.
My cooking tragedies
Long, long time ago decided to cook dinner for new bf. Pork chops were burned and frozen peas were cold. He ate everything, but I think we broke up soon after that, he ended up marrying my roommate! LOL

Soul Smothered Chicken
Sorry this one just didn't do it for us. It smelled really great, but tasted very bland. Will not be making it again.

Meatloaf with Fried Onions and Ranch Seasoning
this is the best meatloaf I have ever made. The flavors melded together very well. Never got individual taste of onions or ranch, just a great mixture of flavors. I haven't made meatloaf in years because I hadn't had a good recipe. Will be great for cold wintry nights in the future. Very easy to put together and remember the ingredients

Best Ever Brisket
We loved this! Our butcher did not have brisket, but recommended a bottom roast. Like other reviewers, I did not use the regular salt. Even my seven year old had seconds. Did not last long in this beef eating household.
