About this Cook
I am a happily married stay-at-home mommy of 2 sweet little girls. I love cooking and baking and finding new and delicious recipes - especially from this website! My husband and girls are good sports when it comes to trying new things, and helping me to decide which recipes go into the family favorites file or get tossed out. Cooking is my passion, especially when I'm cooking for the ones I love.
My favorite things to cook
Some current favorites are Chicken Broccoli Penne Alfredo, Slowcooker Pork Chops with Gravy served over rice, Oat Bran & Oatmeal Pancakes (which may not sound like it, but are out of this world delicious!), Belgian Waffles, Chicken Pot Pie and Chewy Granola Bars.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Sugar Cookies at Christmas and any other holiday that I have time to make them.
My cooking triumphs
See "My favorite things to cook"... basically anything my family raves about is a cooking triumph for me, it's what makes me happy!
My cooking tragedies
More than I care to admit!

Fluffy French Toast
Wow, LOVED this recipe! In reading a LOT of reviews last night, the common theme seemed to be to double the vanilla and the cinnamon so I did, and I also took another reviewer's suggestioned and added a a Tablespoon of brown sugar, along with the Tablespoon of white sugar. The results were PERFECT!! Just got done eating some for breakfast this morning and had to post a review right away, so good!!!

Banana Crumb Muffins
I was looking for something different to make with bananas instead of the same old banana bread... these are SO MUCH BETTER! Everyone in my family loved them, they did not last long. I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfect!

World's Best Lasagna
I really wanted to love this recipe. It wasn't terrible, but I think I had my hopes up with all the rave reviews. I followed the recipe exactly, but it really was rather bland. I'm not a huge fan of sweet sausage, so I'm sure that was part of the reason I didn't like this... I also think it could've used more cheese. I was going to give this recipe 2 stars, but after it sat in the fridge, the leftovers were better the next day so I'm giving it 3 stars. Will I make this again? Probably not. Sad to say, I am still looking for the "world's best" lasagna recipe.
