About this Cook
I'm just your typical suburban working mom of middle schoolers. So every day is a new adventure in time management. :-)
My favorite things to cook
Anything simple but different. My crockpot is my friend, I'm trying to get better about using unprocessed real ingredients, and I go on baking splurges now and then.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Ordering pizza!
My cooking triumphs
Learning how to not burn everything, and learning my way around fresh produce.
My cooking tragedies
The first 10 years of trying, when my greatest accomplishments were typically mac & cheese concoctions.

Roasted Acorn Squash
This smelled really good when it was cooking, but we just didn't like it at all. Something about the onion + coriander + sweet squash taste just didn't go well together.

Good Old Fashioned Pancakes
These are super fluffy pancakes. And made with half whole grain flour, super filling. I did have to add more milk to get them thin enough to spoon on to the pan (probably 1/2-3/4 cup for a double batch), and I had to be careful to pour them in a thin wide blob on the pan or else they got too thick and fluffy in the center to cook evenly. Tasty!

Sausage Gravy III
This is a good starting point, but the recipe as written is really thin and bland. I had to add a couple more tablespoons of flour to get it almost thck enough after 15 minutes, and it desperately needed salt and pepper. But it's easy to remember as the base recipe, so I'm sure it'll get used more!
