About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
Anything new and different. I love to experiment with things I have never tried before. I love chopping and mixing all sorts of foods together.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I always remember my grandmother in her apron preparing this huge spread for the holidays for the whole family. It brings back wonderful memories of childhood. She made the best cornbread ever!
My cooking triumphs
I make great pot pie!
My cooking tragedies
One year for Thanksgiving, I was assigned to bring the dessert for Thanksgiving dinner at my mother's house. I opted for a pecan pie. I followed the directions exactly, but the pie was taking forever to cook. The Karo syrup just wouldn't gel. Finally, we were running late waiting on the pie and we just took it out of the oven and put it back in at my mother's. When it was time for dessert, we tried to cut into it (it still wasn't right) and that was when we realized the problem. I had forgotten to take the wax paper out of the pie shell! I still haven't lived that one down.

Baked French Fries I
These had a great flavor, but they burned quite easily. I am not sure if I made the wedges too large and therefore they had to cook longer then they should have. I will probably try again and cut the wedges smaller.

Slow Cooker Carolina BBQ
Yummy! I mixed half of the meat with the sauce and ate the other half with regular bbq sauce for the kids. Both were delicious. Will definitely make again.

Fra Diavolo Sauce With Pasta
This was good. I wasn't sure if the recipe was calling for canned tomatoes or fresh so I used canned and added two fresh ones. I think I pureed the tomatoes too much because there weren't any chunks and I like it when there are some chunks of tomato in there. I also only used shrimp because that is what I had. It was delicious and I will definitely be making again.
