About this Cook
I am a mom to two wonderful boys (10 and 5) and soon to be mom again.... our sonogram said it is a little girl and I am so excited (being in a house full of boys---even our dog is a boy! LOL). I am a teacher by profession but have resigned at the end of this year and am thinking of being a stay at home mom if I don't get a teaching job in my home town (: I am married to a wonderful cook & movie critic ! (: (: (:
My favorite things to cook
My fried chicken, Tex-Mex dishes, and baking.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Lots of traditions, too many to list. Every holiday has certain foods & preparing them is equal to eating them! I love baking at Christmas.
My cooking triumphs
Yeast breads, quick breads.
My cooking tragedies
Pie crusts. Even the store bought ones give me trouble (fold over in the oven).

Sweet, Sticky and Spicy Chicken
I thought this was excellent!I did adda bit of flour at the end to thicken it up. Also, I didn't really measure anything, just added a little of all the sauce ingredients, but it turned out! I can't wait to make it again! There is something magically yummy about the combination of garlic, honey, soy sauce, hot sauce, brown sugar & ginger (used dried instead of the chopped root). Combined over chicken and slow simmered=food for the gods! I added mushrooms & rice with veggies. Spicy/sweet goodness!

Sour Cream Figure-Eights
Delicious! Thanks for the recipe! Perfect with a cup of tea. Dough was really sticky, so I put it in the freezer and then worked really fast to make the '8' shapes. Also made round circle cookies from the 'holes'. I haven't baked in awhile, and my boys gobbled them up. I still have some dough leftover that I am going to freeze (makes alot of dough). (: (: (:
