My favorite things to cook
Anything with lots of garlic!!!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Trying to teach my daughter...may the tradition continue!
My cooking triumphs
Peach pie from scratch, yummy.
My cooking tragedies
Where to begin?! But, always learning something new!!!

Authentic, No Shortcuts, Louisiana Red Beans and Rice
I do not know what I did wrong....I have never used dry beans in anything so, when it said soak overnight I assumed it meant for about 8 hours...did it mean 24 hours?!? I soaked for almost ten hours and then followed the directions exactly...21 HOURS later with the slow cooker set on low, my beans were still pretty hard. I cranked it up to high and left it for 2 more hours, then the beans were edible and actually not bad. However, after all that time, the meat - well lets just say the meat was interesting. We just picked the meat out and ate the beans with rice. Way too much time for something that should be easy....

Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore
This did not work for us, maybe the type of sauce we used? It had a strange flavor and texture....strange.

Baked Slow Cooker Chicken
Wonderful! I have used this as a base idea many times....added veggies, different/more spices, with/without potatoes, etc. Try this!
