About this Cook
I'm a stay at home mom and dance instructor at 3 different locations! I have many allergies to cope with in my little family, and I always would rather offer home cooked meals.
My favorite things to cook
I am a vegetarian but oddly enough love to cook meats- whole chickens, steak, potatoes- anything that "sticks to your bones." I also love to bake! Cheesecake is my birthday specialty. I take requests and I am always perfecting the art!
My favorite family cooking traditions
I have yet to obtain a family cooking tradition since my dear mother still holds the torch. I am next in line! I did begin our tradition of the Friendly Feast 7 years ago. The meal theme is Mexican and we each make a dish. The party is the night before Thanksgiving and lasts late into the night filled with margaritas, salsa, and spice!
My cooking triumphs
Once again, it would have to be meat. It has taken much time to figure out the "done" time. Also cheesecakes with no cracks and perfectly chewy cookies would top off the list.
My cooking tragedies
I haven't had too many yet. It's usually just a so so recipe, but I have tried to feed raw meat to my husband- big mistake!!!

Pumpkin Muffins II
Very good, moist muffin! To make it a bit healthier, I used whole wheat flour and applesauce in place of 1/2 of the oil.
