About this Cook
Love to prepare and serve delicious meals that my family will actually eat. For 2009, my focus will be on healthy but tasty alternatives to our high calorie, high fat tendencies. I've never cooked with ground turkey, so that's first on my list!
My favorite things to cook
Mexican and Breakfast foods are my favorite
My favorite family cooking traditions
I'm trying to find cooking traditions for my two girls.
My cooking triumphs
Realizing that home-cooked meals are SO MUCH BETTER than fast food! Now I try different things for my family. Sometimes it's a hit and sometimes it's a miss, but it's fun trying new things!
My cooking tragedies
My first ten years of cooking! Everything had to be "add water & heat" LOL!

Cream Cheese Squares
YUM! I've made these twice in two days! I only used a 1/4 c. butter and still great. Yesterday I used fresh blueberries, today fresh blueberries AND strawberries. Tomorrow, some apple pie topping. Did I say Yum?

Emily's Famous Hash Browns
These are scrumpdiddly! Couple of tips I found: I fried them in Light Olive Oil for a lighter taste than vegetable oil. I also cooked them covered on medium to medium high in small pancake size individual servings, this way the onions didn't burn. Make sure you rinse and squeeze dry, this keeps your potatoes from turning grey! And lastly drain well. I kept mine on newspaper and paper towels in the microwave and patted with paper towel before serving. *try topping with cheese and leftover ham from the holidays!!!
