About this Cook
I am a working mother and wife with two boys, two dogs and a rabbit. We are very active with both sons and their favorite hobby- BASEBALL!
My favorite things to cook
Chicken Marsala or anything Italian. I like to cook on the grill, and my family likes seafood on the grill, especially BBQ Salmon on cedar planks.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love to cook in the kitchen with my kids. They are now asking if they can have their "own" set of cooking utensils!
My cooking triumphs
I made a tropical orange/pineapple glaze topped cheesecake for our annual church shrimp boil and I won first place!
My cooking tragedies
For Christmas every year, I always make Pumpkin pie for my family. One year I forgot to put in the sugar! My brother tasted it and said "What kind of pie is this supposed to be?" because he though I was trying something new.

Boilermaker Tailgate Chili
I read all the other reviews and made a couple of minor changes: I added the whole can of beer, no bacon (didn't have any), 15 oz cans of tomatoes instead of 28 oz and kidney beans instead of chili beans (used what I had). I also added 1 TBS of chipotle chili powder. This was awesome and fresh tasting and our new family recipe.

Shrimp Scampi III
Really good flavor. I used 6 cloves of garlic instead because we REALLY like garlic! I used fresh ground bread crumbs from a day old loaf of french bread and did not need quite as much. This is a really good recipe!

Easy Guacamole
Good recipe, but I added a few ingredients after trying it "as is" first. First, 1 chopped, seeded jalapeno. Second, I use red onion instead of white. Third, add 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, more chopped garlic and more lime juice as needed (I use the squeeze bottle of RealLime). I also add a splash of Crystal hot sauce, but that is personal preference 'cause I like the heat! After these additions, it was 5 stars!
