About this Cook
I am a happily married 26 yr old living in Ketchikan, AK. and mom of two precious girls. Abby is 2 and my other daughter Rowan is 10 mo. old. My husbands name is Will and I like to cook tasty and most of the time healthy meals that dont take a whole lot of prep or time.
My favorite things to cook
I love cooking things that are of course delicious, but dont take a whole lot of time or effort, remember mom of two dont have alot of time. I love the slow cooker and I LOVE to cook traditional things but adding ingredients that you wouldn't usually use to add that wow factor. I am also a MAJOR SWEET eater, so as you can imagine I LOVE LOVE LOVE to make desserts, cookies, and things of that nature.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I am originally from the South, so I cook alot of things like Pot Roast, Lasagna, Chicken Fried Steak, Baked or BBQ Chicken, anything grilled, ect... My dad is a big sweet eater too, so I also know how to do really traditional desserts like Apple, Cherry, Blueberry, pies.
My cooking triumphs
I dont know if I actually have any triumphs, but I loke to cook a Baked Ziti recipe from this site when we have guests over and I ALWAYS get asked for the recipe. I love it when someone asks me for a recipe, it lets me know that I must have done something right, lol!!
My cooking tragedies
I think my biggest fault is a lack of salt. I tend to not salt things because I hate salt. I just dont have a good sense of saltiness. I also have alot of bad luck making soups or stews.

Korean BBQ Chicken Marinade
Im giving this 4 stars because my husband really likes it and he doesnt usually like chicken all that much. But for me, it just isnt sweet enough. I have tried doubleing the sugar and it still wasnt sweet. Also, it didnt seem to completely marinate through the whole piece of chicken, just the skin, even with over 48 hrs marinading. I will try something ekse to see if I can make it a bit more sweet as well as make sure the taste is soaked all the way through.

Honey Mustard Salad Dressing
This is so good. I used stone ground mustard, doubled the amount. Added more mayo, cut the oil in half (using EVOO), cut the vinegar in half(using apple cider vin.) and used onion powder, and dried parsley. If I imagined the perfect honey mustard salad dressing, this would be it. I love it and will definitley make again!!

Lentil Soup
I have never worked with lentils before and I LOVED this!! I added more tomatoes and more liquid. It is more like a stew than a soup. But is so so good. I will definitley be making this again, again, and again!!
