About this Cook
I'm just a young wife and mom. I love to cook and always have. I loved to cook and bake with my brother and mom growing up, and I loved to watch my dad grill and smoke meats.
My favorite things to cook
Recipes that aren't too confusing and don't have a million ingredients! I like to keep it simple.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I loved it when my brother and I would make dessert every night after we had eaten dinner. We tried new recipes every night and rated them. Also I liked when we took turns making dinner through the week.
My cooking triumphs
I love to experiment and add this or that, so sometimes things turn out great...my triumphs are when I hear my husband say "this is good"-which (thankfully) is getting more and more frequent;)
My cooking tragedies
LOTS of them!! I have made so many things that have turned out plain BAD! I can't put my finger on just one!

Premium Pizza Crust
I love this crust!! I made it a few weeks ago and it was totally soggy, but that was because all I had was a sheet pan to cook it on:( I bought a pizza screen and put a piece of parchment on it. The crust turned out fantastic, and very thin! Thank you!

Breadsticks with Parmesan Butter
Absolutely fantastic!! I halved the recipe and used a whole egg like another reviewer did. I also followed her advice and added some Italian Seasoning to the dough, then right out of the oven I brushed with melted butter seasoned with Johnny's Garlic Spread (it's powder) and sprinkled parmesan on top....perfect! Oh and I would suggest making the sticks half the size instructed. The ones that I didn't do that to were like loaves of bread!!! But I did let them rest a lot longer:) Thank you!!!

Baked Teriyaki Chicken
This was great. I covered my baking dish in foil, it's a must!
