About this Cook
I'm 63-years-old and have been married 34 years. I have one son (married) who lives in Illinois. My husband and I moved to Colorado 14 years ago, something he's always wanted to do. I was raised on a dairy farm in Wisconsin and, probably as a result, love animals, especially dogs and cats. We have 2 dogs who are spoiled rotten. My husband is retired and I retired as of 12-01-07. I love to try new recipes. I participate in a potluck every Sunday at our local VFW. The money donated is used for the auxiliary scholarship fund or for any needy persons/charities. It's very satisfying to do this, and I use All Recipes a LOT to find new recipes that are inexpensive to make, but rated as delicious.
My favorite things to cook
Casseroles, especially hamburger dishes. Appetizers, if they aren't too difficult. Cookies/bars, DH's favorites.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Making lots of cookies and candy for the Christmas season. I always make too much and end up giving it away, but nobody complains!

Jalapeno Popper Spread
I took this to a ladies afternoon at the local VFW and it was a hit, described as "to die for". I made 1-1/2 times the recipe with about 6 oz. chopped jalapenos, then baked it topped with panko crumbs sprayed with cooking spray. DH even said it was really good, and he's told me for 35 years that he does not like Parmesan cheese. Great recipe.

Texas Coleslaw
I doubled this for a potluck and thought it was tasteless. Asked DH to taste it, he thought it was great. Evidently so did others, because I came home with an empty bowl. So what do I know? I did add more cayenne in an attempt for flavor.

Sassy Chicken Enchilada Dip
Pretty good! I didn't use cilantro (don't like it), used toasted minced onion instead of green onions (didn't have any), garlic powder instead of minced garlic and added a tiny bit of cayenne for a little more "oomph". I also used leftover turkey. Definitely will make again.
