About this Cook
I have been cooking since I was a kid. I have always enjoyed it and love foods with flavor! I am a mother of a 2 year old darling little girl, and have a wonderful husband, and they are my world!
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook big dinners for large groups but don't get to do so often because we have no family nearby. I love making all pasta dishes, chicken dishes, chilis and stews, and sides and salads that are fun and exciting. I enjoy making cheesecake and other challenging desserts, but not much of a baker or cookie maker. I love making appetizers for potlucks but not very often at home.
My cooking triumphs
I've cooked a lot of things I am proud of. I have yet to make a Thanksgiving dinner but hopefully this will be my year!
My cooking tragedies
General Tsoa's chicken, I decided to use crushed red pepper flakes instead of whole dried chilis. It was waaaaaaay too HOT!!!

It's Chili by George!!
I decided to try this as a change from my regular chili becvause it was a little easier to make and used less ingredients. It was bland but at the same time, too salty. I will stick with my Washabineros Chili from this site. It is the very best!

Tater Tot Hot Dish II
Surprisingly, we loved it!!! I think it needs some veggies next time, either green beans or Veg-All mixed in with the soups, maybe add some cheddar cheese and sour cream or an extra can of soup??? I served with salad because this is nothing but meat and potatoes. I pretty much made as written except I substitued cream of chicken instead of mushroom and added minced garlic to the meat and onions. I also added the fried onions the last 20 minutes so they wouldn't burn. Like others, some of the meat did get a little dark brown (not burnt) on the bottom but I think it added more flavor to the dish and more texture too. And I like how the soups are poured OVER the tots because they did not completely cover the tots so some were crispy some were not, it was great that way! I wouldn't want ALL the tots to be crispy, it is a casserole after all! It was super easy, will make again soon with the additions and update my review!

Hot Fudge Cake
I found this recipe in a magazine and just thought I'd see if it was on Allrecipes, and here it is! I made it twice in 3 days because we wanted more after the first was gone, and there is only 2 of us in our house! Terrible, I know...it tastes great but it's very sweet. I have no idea why they say it is not overly sweet because it is! Serving warm topped with vanilla ice cream is a must!
