About this Cook
I would LOVE to have my own cooking show, using all the appliances and gadgets that people buy to save time and money but use once or twice and then hide in a cupboard to collect dust. Let's dig out that slow cooker and that countertop grill and that rice steamer and really learn how to make the most of them with easy, idiot-proof recipes.
My favorite things to cook
Anything with intense flavors that I can whip together. It must taste "gourmet" even if it's straight out of the slow cooker!
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love baking bread (though I cheat and use my bread machine on the 'dough' setting). I prefer to cook from scratch; I rarely cook from boxes or cans, except for pasta or beans or cream soup, unless I'm feeling VERY industrious, and then I'll roll my own pasta or soak my own dried beans. My one constant concession to the ready-made world is pie crust. My world would end without ready-made pie crust.
My cooking triumphs
My husband loves my cooking!
My cooking tragedies
I cannot make a decent scratch pie crust to save my soul.

Basic Biscuits
This has been my go-to biscuit recipe since it was posted on bread.allrecipes.com! Easy, fast, fool-proof. There is none better.

Flavorful Flounder
This was EXCELLENT! I omitted the butter (lower the fat), used fat-free mayo and fresh parm, used lime juice instead of lemon, omitted the onion (I didn't have any) and baked @ 400' for about 8 minutes, as I already had some sweet potato fries going at that temp. Fish was moist and flaky, and I loved the flavors of the sauce which was spreadable w/ a spatula over the fillets. I'll be making this again!

Lemon Yummies
I had fun w/ this recipe! I used part yogurt and part sour cream, as that's what I had in the fridge. I cut the oil a bit and added more juice (I used bottled lime juice), and I omitted the zest as I had none. The batter is thicker than cake but thinner than cookie, so I put 1/8 C batter in muffin tins lined w/ paper muffin cups, added 1 1/2 tsp cherry jam, than another 1/8 C batter. I baked for 25 min @ 375' and I'm delighted w/ the turnout! I'm sending overseas w/ a can of cherry frosting. Fabulous! Thinking of adding chopped cranberries next time.
