About this Cook
I have been a hairstylist for 19 years and have been married for 7 years. We have a 5 year old daughter and a new baby boy, born 1/09.
My favorite things to cook
pasta dishes, party food, and just about anything new.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My late grandmother was an unbelievable cook. Unfortunately, we have a hard time recreating some of our favorite dishes that she made because she never measured anything, and never used a formal recipe! I print out my favorite recipes and write down any changes I make. I keep them all in a clear covered notebook, so that I can follow a recipe without getting food on it.
My cooking triumphs
I love to entertain, so any time that I have a party, I am always looking for the best rated recipes on this site. I also take the time to read others reviews. I never go wrong this way. Everyone always asks for one of my recipes.
My cooking tragedies
trying to bake anything with Splenda. It always comes out awful for me!

Awesome Slow Cooker Pot Roast
I had loaned out my crock pot, so I just used this recipe and cooked my roast in the oven on 325 for 3 hours. I used a 31/2 lb. roast, since that's the biggest I could find in my grocery store. I took the advice of other reviewers and coated the roast in seasoned flour and browned it before baking. It made a great gravy, and I didn't have to add anything to thicken it. I will make this again, for sure!

Easy Homestyle Green Beans
My family LOVED these! I doubled the recipe and added 1/2 a can of beef stock, since I didn't have chicken boullion. I simmered them for 1 hour. They tasted like they cooked all day. My 6 year old ate 3 helpings!

Roasted Garlic Bread
This is amazing - so worth the small amount of effort to make your own garlic bread. I use two bulbs of garlic and add Italian seasoning instead of just parsley. I make a big loaf and cut in in half. I serve half and freeze the other half(before baking)for later.
