About this Cook
I'm a thirty-something mom of 3 who loves laughing, adventure, the outdoors, making good food, friends & family, painting, reading, singing & travel.
My favorite things to cook
Anything new & different that I can't just run out & buy (like sweet potato burritos), various Indian food (I love curry!) & baking.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Sadly, my mother never passed on her family cooking traditions. I enjoy cooking healthy meals & this has become our new tradition. It brings me so much joy.
My cooking triumphs
Making my first pie completely from scratch, crust & all! It felt so good! It was blueberry & completely delicious. I felt amazing!
My cooking tragedies
I have been pretty lucky not to have experienced many cooking tragedies. I really can't think of any major disasters, just a couple of times when I've spaced out & added too much salt or burnt a thing or two!

Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings
I followed the recipe because I wanted something simple & quick since I'm a working mom. I only added a bit of salt & pepper to add to the taste a bit. My kids LOVED this (and I did also)!!! There were no leftovers!!!

Cake Mix Cookies VIII
Fantastic cookies! I used a devil's food cake mix & mint chocolate chips. I also added 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil & 1 Tsp. vanilla (as per other reviewers) to the mix. I used a tbsp. to scoop cookies onto pan & they turned out the perfect size for us. I cooked them for only 8-10 min. since we like them soft & gooey! Thank you for my new favorite cookie recipe!!!!

Sweet and Sour Smoked Sausage
Really great & quick. I took the advice of other reviewers & tripled the sweet & sour sauce & added pineapple chunks to the mix. I also added garlic & served over white rice. Everyone loved it. Thank you for a nice, easy meal w/ a change of our usuals!
