About this Cook
I grew up peering over the kitchen counter as my mom cooked dinner, baked, made fun treats. I've always been comfortable in the kitchen and love to tweek other people's recipes to make them my own! I've been married almost 4 years now and my husband thinks I can cook anything in the world (little does he know...)!
My favorite things to cook
Anything with a lot of good reviews from allrecipes. I like to try new things! Love to bake cakes and cookies, love my slow cooker, we eat lots of chicken!
My favorite family cooking traditions
chocolate cake with chocolate frosting topped off with M&M's for birthdays; my aunt's yummy sweet potato casserole with brown sugar topping for Thanksgiving; homemade clam chowder for Christmas Eve
Recipe Reviews 12 reviews
Pesto Turkey Burgers
Very good burger. With the turkey it is lighter than beef and the pesto adds a great little extra flavor. We're definately going to have these again!

Lemony Chicken Noodle Soup
The idea of Lemony Chicken Soup gets 4 stars... the recipe itself needs a lot of reworking. The measurements are totally off. If you make this to the recipe, your soup will turn out funny. Here are my recommendations: 1/2 large onion, 2 Tbls. olive oil (no butter needed!), 1 pound chicken (at least!), 1 clove garlic, 3-4 cans chicken broth, 1 medium carrot, 1/2 cup peas, 1/2 tsp dried basil, 1 - 1 1/2 cups egg noodles, 1-2 Tbls lemon juice. I also added some chopped celery and fresh chopped parsely. Yummy recipe, just needs some tweeking!

Sweet Corn Tomalito
Just like Chevys'! Perfect. I tried the microwave version mentioned by other reviewers: 7 minutes at 30% power, then 4 minutes at 100% power. The center was still goopy so I stirred it up and cooked it another minute at 30% power and it was just right. Would definitely make this again... so easy to make!!
