About this Cook
My husband and I both work full time and I have a long commute which means we don't have a lot of time to cook dinner. I like do stuff ahead of time, pre-cut veggies etc. or cook once for 2 different meals.
My favorite things to cook
Desserts, brownies, cookies really anything chocolate...I also like to try different appetizers for happy hour with friends at my house. I also love making soup, usually tomato, cream soups, or soups with beans. They are just so easy, almost no clean up, and they freeze really well.
My favorite family cooking traditions
We don't really have any cooking traditions in my family. My mother doesn't really enjoy cooking although she does like to make soup, maybe that's where I get it. My Grandmother had some amazing recipes.
My cooking triumphs
mmm...I'll think about it.
My cooking tragedies
I made the worst chicken pot pie ever. It was disgusting we threw the whole thing away. I've made some other pretty gross things but I always like to try new and different recipes. You never know when you’ll find one that’s phenomenal. There’s a pesto tuna recipe on this site that sounded weird, maybe a little gross but turned out to be the best tuna sandwiches we’ve ever had.

Spiked Fall Cider
This was very good. I adjusted it to serve 18 and made it in the crock pot. It was sweet so you wouldn't want more then a glass or two. I used 2 cans of apple juice concentrate instead of cider and added extra spices. It was perfect and I saved myself $5 which is always good.

Fusion Hummus
My husband loved this and I didn't really care for it. I think you really need to like Rosemary it was just too strong for my tastes.

Tartar Sauce IV
This was perfect with our home made mahi mahi fish and chips. It was exactly what I wanted. If you plan to scale it down use 5 or 10 servings, it divides well there. Next time I might add a lttle dill.
