Working mom of 3 grown kids. Quick and easy are my favorite words.

Sunday breakfast, cinnamon rolls, blueberry muffins, omelets and bacon.
My cooking triumphs
Finding this site!!! I tell all my friends about the great recipes I find here.
My cooking tragedies
30 years ago I substituted pineapple juice for water on a pineapple upside down cake. Oooops, I won't do that one again. It was like the cake hadn't been cooked long enough (it was), it was just wet, for lack of a better term to describe it.

Pepper Steak
My daughter (aged 17 and the pickiest eater of all time!!!) thinks this is better than any she's ever tasted. I had to leave out the water chestnuts but I've made it 3 times now and the whole family loves it. It's quick and easy! When I buy the steak, I slice it before freezing. When I leave for work in the morning I throw the meat in the frig. When I get home it's thawed. My daughter starts cooking the meat while I slice onions and green peppers. Done in 15 minutes! YEAH!!!!

Rum or Bourbon Balls
I don't do deserts at all because I always find a way to mess them up and I really don't have much of a sweet tooth, but these were easy to make and while a bit sweeter than I'd like, they were pretty d*** good! I finally found something that I can't over/under cook, and that alone is worth 5 stars.

Hazel's Cranberry Sauce
My first time making cranberry sauce. Had I known it was this easy to make I would have done this decades ago. Much better than store bought and I would have rated it a 5 star but I'm not real crazy about cloves and to me a little less on the cloves or no cloves would have been better.
