About this Cook
I have been married almost 40 years ( to the same man) and love to cook for him and our friends. Learned to cook from my Mom, and by trial and ERROR. My husband was in the military for 20+ years, and have been quite a few places, one of my favorites was Turkey.
My favorite things to cook
Love to cook southern food, Chicken fried steak etc, but do not do it but once a month or so, trying to stay healthy! Love to make vegetarian dishes, and am still learning about them, also just became familiar with Bulgar and love it. My slow cooker is my favorite tool.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Family traditions are different kinds of christmas cookies, and REAL New York Cheesecake ( NO GRAHAM CRACKER CRUSTS PLEASE)
My cooking triumphs
Cooking Fried chicken that was not raw in the middle:)
My cooking tragedies
Raw in the middle fried chicken

Bill's Sausage Gravy
Don't care for the maple sausage, and to make it even simpler, you don't have to remove the sausage, just before it is cooked, sprinkle the flour in and stir it into the sausage and drippings, till the sausage is fully cooked,and the flour looses its "floury" taste, then add milk and whisk till thickened, makes it less messy, and a WHOLE lot easier. Thanks for a nice recipe.

Sopapilla Cheesecake Dessert
I was looking for a quick dessert, and came across this recipe at another site, really was skeptical about the 3 packages of cream cheese, but I figured, what the heck, can't have to much of a good thing, so tried it, minus the almonds, and was really surprised when it turned out so well. Think next time I will try 2 packages of cream cheese, and dot with some pie filling before putting the top layer of dough on. BTY I found "Crescent Recipe" rolls of dough, that you don't have to close the perforations on, it is all one rectangular piece, perfect fit for the 9x13 pan, just remember NOT to spread the filling all the way to the edge of the dough, leave it just before you reach the side of the pan. Great dessert, and soooo simple!!!!!

Pepperoncini Beef
Very good recipe for sandwiches. As for some of the comments about being to spicy, we sure did not feel this was the case, in fact I was thinking about adding some cayenne pepper to it to heat it up some more. Also, the comment about being dry, sure don't know HOW that happened, we had more than enough juice. Followed the recipe exactly, but did use some beef broth as well as the juice from the peppers. Thanks for the new addition to my collection of GREAT recipes!!!
