About this Cook

I love to try new recipes. If I don't have exactly what is called for, I don't hesitate to make changes or substitutions. I believe that recipes are basic guidelines, not absolutes!

My favorite things to cook

Desserts!!!

My favorite family cooking traditions

My favorite memories are of holidays and helping Mom and Granny in the kitchen. I am hoping to pass those special memories along to my children as well as the pleasure and fun of everyday food preparations.

My cooking triumphs

Getting up the courage to cook a large whole boneless pork loin - it turned out very moist and tasty!

My cooking tragedies

My many failed attempts at homemade mac-n-cheese... there's a reason it comes in a box!!! The reason is for people like me!!!

Chicken Spaghetti II

This seems to be a pretty classic recipe for chicken spaghetti. I would point out that the amount of spaghetti indicated may be a typo, given the amounts of the the other ingredents. I would definitely use 16 ounces of uncooked spaghetti in this recipe. I made this recipe this evening for a crowd. I doubled all of the ingredients and used 32 ounces of uncooked spagetti, and the sauce was more than enough but yet not soupy - just right!

Cheese Garlic Biscuits II

These are fantastic and so easy to prepare! Very tasty! Mine looked a little more like tall cookies than drop biscuits - they flattened somewhat when cooking, but that defiitely did not affect the taste at all! Very Good!!!

Blueberry-Lemon Pound Cake

This was a really good pound cake. I received many compliments on it. I did add 1 more teaspoon of lemon extract to make it a bit more "lemony". It took an hour and 20 minutes to completely cook, and then the top was a bit too done. I used the Lemon Icing from this site, but tweaked it, adding more lemon juice and using less confectioner's sugar so that it was thinner and more like a glaze than an icing. I filled the center with blueberries and scatered them over the top along with some strawberries dipped in white chocolate that I flavord with lemon too.
