About this Cook
I operate a small greenhouse business from my home, Northern Tropics Greenhouse, 1501 East Fuson Road, Muncie, IN 47302. I'm a mother of four, a master gardener-- and a vendor at the Minnetrista Farmers Market. I operate a roadside stand at the greenhouse in addition to selling at the market. I love to grow and cook with heirloom tomatoes, peppers, and other veggies that I grow, I grow some awesome gourmet lettuce for personal use, and sell a little occasionally.
My favorite things to cook
Anything using heirloom tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, garlic, onions, and tomatillos. I haven't purchased onions, garlic, or tomato products from a store in years. I can and freeze all my own veggies for winter use.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Canning, cooking breakfast on Saturday mornings in the winter time. Growing lettuce in the greenhouse and eating it in the winter.
My cooking triumphs
My daughters graduation cake turned out great!
My cooking tragedies
Too many to mention, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. You can always try again!!!

Barb's Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
These muffins have a good flavor but you have to eat them as soon as they cook or they get tough/dry due to lack of oil. They have a good flavor but I think they really need some oil added for texture. I've made these several times before deciding what was wrong.

Apple Cake V
Everyone who tried this loved it! I left out the nuts, and I thought it might be too much oil, so I just put in the one cup of oil and put in milk for the other 1/4 cup of oil. It turned out great! Thanks for submitting this great recipe

Nany's Cheesy Cauliflower Casserole
I really liked this recipe. I did make the changes that others suggested and also because I didn't have the cheddar cheese I used velveeta. It was really good using 1/2 of the mayo, regular milk instead of evaporated, and velveeta. This was taken to a church carry in and everyone liked it. Thanks for the great recipe!
