About this Cook
Married since 1993, husband is a diabetic so I have to create recipes low on sugar and carbs. Substituting Splenda for sugar allows him to have some of his favorites like pumpkin pie and cornbread. Also, because it is made from sugar, it browns, unlike when I use Sweet 'N Low.
My favorite things to cook
I would have to say Liver and Onions. My son-in-law and my other daughters boyfriend claimed not to like Liver, but, when I cook it, they come back for seconds like my husband. It just tickles me.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mother would always make a jello salad from raspberry jello, and add an orange, an apple and a cup of cranberries - all of which had been run through the grinder - to it. We all loved it.
My cooking triumphs
Cooking an entire Christmas dinner on the gas grill when the oven went out. I even cooked the pies on the grill.
My cooking tragedies
Trying to make bread. It came out hard as a rock, did not raise and tasted terrible. My biscuits are the same way. That is why my husband makes the biscuits.

Chocolate Chip Mint Ice Cream
The sweetened condensed milk in this recipe makes it t-o-o sweet! The taste reminds me of when store bought ice cream sits too long in the freezer.

Waldorf Salad II
A little too tart from the lemon juice and I added some coconut to it. Later, I read the reviews and noticed that some people had added sugar to sweeten it. Will have to try it again with the sugar.

Old Fashioned Lemon Pie
Unlike the chiffon pies that so many enjoy, I find this one not as tart. This is like the one on the side of a major selling cornstarch, but, since I buy generic, I was glad to find it on the web. I did not use the double boiler but cooked it over a low heat. For those that had a runny mixture, you didn't cook it long enough. Stir constantly and when it starts to "boil" like a "lava" bed, it will be thick enough to pour. The meringue also takes a long time to whip, so it is best to use an electric mixer. Also, egg whites whip better into meringue when they are at room temperature.
