About this Cook
I am a stay at home mom of 2 toddlers in Williamsburg, Virginia. My family just bought our first home and I am enjoying getting to learn my way around my very own kitchen. I have never been that enthused about cooking until I moved into our first house with my very own kitchen! Now, I spend my spare time learning new recipes and different cooking techniques.
My favorite things to cook
I love cooking different types of ethnic food: asian, italian, morrocan, anything that is new and interesting! I have also found a love of baking cakes. Heaven and Hell Cake is my favorite so far!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Growing up, my family was big on casseroles. If you could put it in a casserole, we did! Now, although I love casseroles, I am enjoying learing to cook in different styles!
My cooking triumphs
I learn a little more each day and can't say that I've mastered any specific thing, although I am know as the Cake Lady between my friends and family! I am working on creating my own cake for them now!
My cooking tragedies
I haven't had anything extremely detrimental happen yet. My biggest task that I am attempting to master is time management. I am learning how to time meals properly so that everything comes out fresh & hot!

Easy Scalloped Potatoes
I was not impressed. There was a lack of flavor even when I kicked it up a bit on my own. I will try another recipe next time. This one needs lots of work!

Green Bean and Mushroom Medley
I wanted to try this recipe but forgot to buy the mushrooms! I cooked it anyways & added sliced almonds that I cooked in the butter with the onion........so yummy! I received raving reviews from the hubby on this one! It will be even better next time wiht the almonds, and, of course, the mushrooms!

Pork Chops and Scalloped Potatoes
We absolutely LOVED this recipe. There were no leftovers & even the little ones agreed that it was wonderful. I did follow the advice of some of the others. I wanted it done quicker than the recipe called for so I precooked the potatoes by boiling them for about 10 mintutes before placing them in the baking dish. I also used less salt, as suggested & added a little more pepper (my own touch). My favorite, which everyone tends to overlook is the power of paprika! I love paprika on poultry. It gives it great flavor so I used it generously. I only had to cook for about 30 min covered & 15 uncovered and it was scrumptuous! Thanks for the quick & easy recipe!
