About this Cook
I teach elementary aged children. There is nothing better then educating children. I have been married since May 2004 and have a son.
My favorite things to cook
I love anything fried (real healthy, right?)from chicken fried steak to fried BBQ chicken (a recipe I created!). I also enjoy making homemade soups and stews. My current favorite soup to make is Navy Bean and Ham Soup.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Every Thanksgiving my Husband fries a turkey in our Turkey Fryer. This is actually quite healthy.
My cooking triumphs
Learning how to cook my husband's favorite Mexican dishes. I had no recipe to follow so it took trial and error to determine the proper ingrediants and so forth.
My cooking tragedies
I haven't made anyone ill, yet. My biggest tragedy is slaving over the stove to produce a yummy meal and then dropping the meal on the floor. I do this a lot (very clumsy).

Ham Chowder
AS with most recipes I use, I always modify them to my tastes. I loved this recipe!! It provided a great base to dabble with. Many other reviewers complained about the amount of rosemary in this recipe. You need to know yourself and know your tastes. If you do not like a lot of rosemary, then put a little in the pot. I only used 2 tsp and that was the perfect amount!! I also puréed some of the chowder to thicken it!! Lovely!!!

Scrumptious Salisbury Steak in Mushroom Gravy
My family and I did not like the Salisbury steak. Something about the flavor of the steak itself was no appetizing. However, I changed up the mushroom gravy recipe and it was fabulous! I used the cans of mushrooms and puréed them. I melted the butter and mixed the flour in the pan. Then, I added the mushroom purée mix and substituted beef broth in place of the milk. This makes great beefy mushroom gravy! For those who like chunks of mushrooms, add chunks of mushrooms to your gravy but still purée some mushrooms for a more aromatic flavor!
