About this Cook
I enjoy knitting, cross stitch, scuba diving, hiking, and cooking.
My favorite things to cook
All types of breakfast foods. I also enjoy baking and cooking new recipes when I have time.
My favorite family cooking traditions
We always have a big breakfast on the weekends. We also have big holiday meals.
My cooking triumphs
I am good at throwing things together to make a meal. My husband frequently asks where the recipe came from and I tell him I just threw it together. I get my inspiration from several recipes and pick my favorite parts of each to come up with a new "specialized" recipe that suits my family.
My cooking tragedies
When I was in elementary school I made cookies and I think I swapped salt for the sugar. You can imagine how yummy those turned out. I also tried to make split pea soup and it cooked to long and turned to mush. None of us could choke it down.

Brown Sugar Pudding Cake
My family loved this! I was worried since one review stated the sauce never thickened but it came out perfect. I did alter my technique a bit from the recipe though. After mixing the butter and brown sugar I dumped the rest of the pudding ingredients in and mixed it up. Next I poured the pudding layer on the bottom and covered with the sauce. Like another rater I too melted the butter and mixed in the flour Before mixing it into the rest of the sauce ingredients. The pudding (which is more like a cake in my opinion) will float to the top while it bakes.

Maple-Mustard Country-Style Spareribs
My family loved these. I piled everything into the crock pot and cooked until tender. I reduced the liquid to make a glaze and put them on the grill for a few minutes and basted them with the glaze. The only thing I did different was to add a couple cloves of garlic. Yum!!

Greek Style Potatoes
These were so yummy! I left out the rosemary though since I can't stand it, but otherwise made it as is. Next time I would like to add some garlic and maybe a little dill. I never would have thought to put lemon juice with potatoes but it paired up quite well. I will most certainly be making these again!
