About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
I enjoy cooking all types of foods. I have done some catering for various scrapbooking parties I participate in. Many of my recipes come from this site. I love doing research and then tweeking them to my own personal taste.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I have tried to keep my Norwegian Heritage going for my family. I make a lot of tradional foods from when I grew up. The only Norwegian I don't do unless I'm with extended family is cooking Lutefisk which is basically a type of cod. It is one food that is an aquired taste.
My cooking triumphs
I made my first quiche not to long ago. Have to say, I've always loved quiche, but never have made it myself. Didn't know how easy they are to make. The recipe I used I found on this site.
My cooking tragedies
There have been a few. The one that comes to mind was when I was cooking for a "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" party at our house. I had made a cheesecake the night before and it spilled over into the oven. Well I didn't take the time to clean it well, so when my husband went to cook the roast beef for dinner, the entire house filled with smoke. It was in the middle of winter, so there we are with the doors open trying to get the smoke out and still cook the meal. Not sure who was coming for the dinner, made it all that much worse. But thankfully it was people we knew well and we had a great laugh over it.

Slow Cooker Stuffing
Great Recipe that I've used for years. Family just loves it! Key is really to only add enough broth to moisten the mixture....so don't dump all the broth in at one time. Add it a little at a time. This can burn in the crockpot, so either check on it a few times or start it out on low setting. Not all crockpots heat at the same temperatures, even if on a low setting.

Baked Beef Stew
If I could rate this recipe with 10 stars I would! It was awesome! I've never baked a stew before but I think from now on, it's how I'm going to make it. My husband who is a very good cook said he'd never tasted better. I usually don't rate recipes I make changes to as I usually make recipes as is if I'm going to rate or review them, as it's not fair to the person who submitted the recipe. But I didn't have all the stuff to make this so I had no choice. With that said, here are the changes I had to make. I added stewed tomatoes in place of diced. Beef broth for the bullion/water and I sauted the onions with the beef and used some of the broth to deglaze the pan. I didn't have any tapioca so I added corn starch along with some more beef broth at the end. But I do think it's the overall process of baking this stew that makes it so good. The meat was tender without being mushy....the carrots and potatoes were not mushy either. THANK YOU Diane for this great recipe!!

Baby Back Ribs
I have made this recipe several times. My husband and son now say they'll never order ribs again in a restaurant since eating these. I follow the recipe andhowever at the end of cooking I do open the foil and add additional sauce and then broil them so the sauce gets nice and sticky....but even if you don't do this, the ribs still are awesome! Making ribs used to intimidate me somewhat but now using this method it's super simple and the ribs turn out great every time.
