Me
About this Cook
I'm a home body most of the time. Even though I love baking, reading, and hate laundry- I find myself spending all my time doing the latter.
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake desserts more than cook a meal (even though i enjoy the odd meal too!) but desserts are so much more reward after all the work!
My favorite family cooking traditions
too many things to recall here... food and family share the same place in my heart.
My cooking triumphs
Making a lemon souffle (in a water bath!!) to perfection when I was first married.
My cooking tragedies
Other than burning the odd thing (usually the PAN itself!!) nothing noteworthy so far!

Hamburger Stew
This was a good start but it was quite flavorless so like a previous reviewer I added 3 packets of beef OXO and for my own personal taste I also added 3/4 Cup of Salsa. I was out of potatoes but replaced them with hash browns and it came out like a wonderful chili without beans! Served with a dallop of sour cream.

Hamburger Rice Skillet
Everyone in my house really enjoyed this recipe. The only modification I made was to add Green and Yellow bell peppers because I like the sweetness against the salty onion soup mix. I had a hard time not adding some cream to the sauce, but that's just me... :0) easy and tasty recipe that my kids loved, and they hate everything!

Dash's Donair
My husband suddenly wanted to make his own donairs- he found this recipe- and created it himself. It was FABULOUS. We both thought it tasted exactly like the donair place in town! It's nice to be able to create it at home and know EXACTLY what is in it!! The only thing we changed the second time around was the amount of sugar in the sauce. We only used 1/4 C because we thought the sauce was terribly sweet. I also love adding Tzatziki and/or hummus. If you like Donairs- this is a DEFINITE MUST TRY!! **BTW** the sauce is to be prepared COLD- do not make a flour and butter Roux as is suggested in past reviews (you'd need to prep it in a sauce pan for that). A teaspoon of starch should help thicken, and it works great at room temp if you have a minute or two.
