About this Cook
I have worked full time (well over 40hrs a week) since I was married at 17 in 1998. I loved cooking but never had time to cook from scratch. After 5 1/2 years of marriege and being settled down, my husband joined the ARMY. I now have all the time in the world to cook, as I don't have to work now. I love cooking from scratch. It seems easier and takes up less cupboard space. I love allrecipes and really appreciate the quality of home cooked recipes. Thank you allrecipes!!
My favorite things to cook
I love Mexican and Italian!!
My cooking triumphs
I make the best meatloaf in the whole world and pretty awesome enchiladas. I also make a fantastic spagetti sauce form scratch.

Vegetarian Chickpea Curry with Turnips
OK, I brought the spices way down- to taste and added fresh tomatoes with the garlic. In addition, I added agave nectar and carrots. Both sugar and carrots are natural pair with the spices here. I did not add so much agave that it tasted sweet, only enough to pull together and soften the flavors. I did also add shaved almonds. With these additions I think this is a nice recipe. I am also certain adding a pinch of cinnamon to this dish would really add depth and color to it's flavor, but I am not one for cinnamon in my food. By the way, I used two small turnips rather than half of a large. For a non-veg alternative I seered some chicken tenderloins on both sides before starting with the recipe- just let the tenderloins go along for the ride in the pan!

No Bake Cookies I
I am only giving this 5 stars because the recipe is fantastic and easy as pie and I think everyone should try them. However, no one needs this much sugar in their cookies! I have cut my sugar down to 1 cup with success everytime and the cookis did not lack in taste or texture. Just don't over boil. I also add a pinch of salt. When my daughter and I ate the original 2 cups of sugar version we had headaches from all the sugar.

Whole Wheat and Honey Pizza Dough
This was AWESOME!! I have such bad luck with pizza dough. I made sure not to overwork it, just as another reviewer mentioned. I cut it in half and rolled it out thin. I par-baked it in a 500 deg oven on a pizza stone (preheated) and then put my toppings on and baked it. The crust was crunchy and bubbled. Just like I wanted it. I have never had that luck. Thank you for the best pizza dough recipe ever!
