About this Cook
I never appreciated my mom's cooking until I left for college and almost starved my first semester-they thought I had an eating disorder at Thanksgiving b/c I had lost 12 lbs since September. I was promply removed from the "meal plan" and given an illegal hotpot so I could survive on mac and cheese and Ramen noodle dishes like everyone else. Since then I appreciate and try to learn, and have gotten comfortable enough that I rarely use recipes in the strict sense, but always play around and change up things with flavors I know I like.
My favorite things to cook
Whatever I can get anyone else to eat. My friends and family are willing guinea pigs.....and I mean pigs!
My favorite family cooking traditions
German background-meat and potatoes! Grilled steak and periogies, kielbasa and cheddar onion mashed potatoes, chicken breast and cauliflower and cheese stuffed baked potato-add any steamed fresh veggie and we have one of these probably once a week.
My cooking triumphs
My take on my dad's chili-i can get any of my friends to come over and join us for dinner if thats on the menu. I love one-pot meals too.
My cooking tragedies
It was something I did with a porkchop, smeared with mustard and coated in......oatmeal and fried. I had to throw it out, but my die-hard hubby just can't waste food and he somehow choked it down muttering something about how it "wasn't that bad"-yes, honey, it was.

Cream of Cauliflower Soup I
This soup was delicious-I left it a little chunky and I think next time I will use slightly less wine. I also recommend making it ahead and letting it sit before serving as (like with most soups) it gets a lot better. And cheese is not optional in my house....

Skillet Pork Chops with Potatoes and Onion
Definitely cut the salt any way you can from the original and it is very good and quick.

Chicken Tortilla Bake
Made as written this was very salty-not unexpected when a recipe calls for 2 cans of undiluted condensed soup. I personally did not enjoy this, but my husband thought it was ok but salty. It looks unappetizing too-like a grey gruel with cheddar cheese on it. All in all, I think there are better things to do with my left over cooked chicken.
