About this Cook
Wife since 2000, mom of 2 (2001 and 2005). I had never cooked before I got married so I got thrown into the kitchen dazed and confused. I learned quickly how good food tastes when loaded with butter. Ever since, I have been on a constant quest to make food that is equally flavorful with as little fat as possible.
My favorite things to cook
Chicken Pot Pies, Apple Pies, Baby Food
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love (most of the time) having my 5 year old in the kitchen with me. I measure, she messes!
My cooking triumphs
Rich, flavorful, flaky, tender pie crusts.
My cooking tragedies
I had an awful experience trying to make a lowfat "fried" eggplant... but I think that it was a bad eggplant... very bitter! We went out to dinner that night!

Beet Bundt Cake
I have NEVER anticipated my next purchase of beets so much! This recipe yielded the most moist and flavorful chocolate cake I have ever made. I made cream cheese frosting and thinned a TINY bit with milk. I put into a ziploc bag, snipped the corner and drizzled all over for a gorgeous presentation. I brought this to a potluck with our CSA. By the time I ran to my car and back, I was reaching for the last sliver! Decadent, moist, delicious... and best of all, my 4 year old would have eaten the whole thing if she could have! Next time, I will try with some applesauce substitution.

Big Al's K.C. Bar-B-Q Sauce
I have tasted many homemade sauces before and just wondered... what's the point? I now am a believer. I tasted the sauce while on the stove and felt a shiver of flavor satisfaction surge through my body... not an experience I have ever had before. This sauce is perfect.

Hot Mocha Drink Mix
I love this recipe! I think that any recipe with chocolate benefits from a pinch of salt. It brings a great "depth" of flavor. Also, I prepare mine with milk instead of water. I think this is fantastic!
