About this Cook
I'm a mom of 3 boys (4, if you count my husband), and I cook nightly. I need some new recipes--ones that are quick and easy!
My favorite things to cook
Crunchy chicken (my kid's favorite), chocolate chip cookies, baked chicken, tacos, hamburgers, omelets, fondue
My favorite family cooking traditions
Each of my children have deemed "Crunchy Chicken" as their favorite meal. So, this is their special meal on all their special days. I always make my husband beef fondue on his birthday and usually on our anniversary. My oldest son, 18, loves me to make my chocolate chip cheesecake for his birthday cake.
My cooking triumphs
Stumbling across the Crunchy Chicken recipe! Figuring out how to make won tons like my mom used to. Finding Allrecipes!!!!!!!!!!!!
My cooking tragedies
Aiding and abetting my mother-in-law with a dish one time that included Thousand Island Dressing and sauerkraut! She and I like it, but the men........ Oh, and let's not forget the time I added GARLIC to my husband's omelet. OR, heaven forbid I should alter in ANY way, one of my tried and true recipes!!

Creamy Beef Casserole
I LOVED this dish! However, the two teenagers didn't care for it, and my husband thought it was just "okay" (that's why I gave it 4 stars-I averaged all of our ratings!). To me, this is the ultimate in comfort food, just like other users have said. I didn't change anything, other than halving the recipe. Looks like I'll get to enjoy the leftovers! This will make a great pot-luck dish!

Mission Mexican Pizza
THIS WAS GREAT! "Better than Taco Bell," said my son! Now, that's a compliment! I used some of the ideas from others, based on what I knew my kids would like. First off, I cooked my ground beef just like I would do for tacos (that includes lots of seasonings and salsa). I did have to heat the tortillas for 8 minutes to get them just right. Instead of pizza sauce, I combined a can of Hatch green chili enchilada sauce and Hatch Tex-Mex enchilada sauce and used that instead. I left off the tomatoes and cilantro. So, I know what you're thinking--it was basically just a taco. I will disagree, though. It is the baked flour tortillas that make this so good! Thanks for a great recipe!

Slow Cooker Thai Pork with Rice
I thought this was very good! I increased the amount of teriyaki and rice wine vinegar so that there would be a little more sauce, and I, too, put the red pepper in the crock pot during the last hour of cooking. I also increased the peanut butter, but next time, I'll use the amount suggested in the recipe. Both of my boys tasted it and said that something was missing. They then sprinkled it with "Rooster" sauce (Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce), and that did the trick! It just wasn't hot enough for them! Thanks for a great recipe!
