About this Cook
I love trying new recipes,I am not as creative as my husband but I'm getting there.My Dad is the cook of the family,several people have hired him to cater weddings,anniversaries and birthday's.That is not his line of work and now that he is retired he enjoys keeping busy and making good food for others.I am still waiting for his coney sauce recipe.I have two daughters who are now young adults,they grew up way too fast.And I take care of other children so my house is never quiet.
My favorite things to cook
I would have to say baking.....I love sweets!
My favorite family cooking traditions
The holidays,when the families get together and bake cookies,breads,cakes,pies and bars. Also family cook outs.....my husband loves to grill.
My cooking triumphs
I would have to say my sand plum jam and blackberry jam.It is very time consumming,having to pick and pit the plums.I was very intimidated by the thought of it,I have heard several horror stories, and one day I decided to go for it.It turned out amazing!The best I have ever tasted......plus the kids love the picking and tasting process.
My cooking tragedies
LOL.....too many to count.But I am happy to say there haven't been any tragedies for some time now.....not saying it won't happen again.

No-Oven Peanut Butter Squares
These are really really good!They taste similar to a Reese's cup but I think a Reese's cup is sweeter.It's a keeper.

Oven-Fried Pork Chops
I have to say I don't care too much for pork chops but my family does.I have tried shake-n-bake and didn't like it,so I was a little unsure about this one.But it turned out great I really like this one not to mention my family.My daughter is like me,doesn't care for pork,and she wasn't going to try it.But after I told her it was really good and really juicy she ate a whole chop!The only thing I did differently was the butter,I used cooking spray instead.Turned out great,I will deffinately make it again and again.Thanks for the recipe!

Easy Lemon Bars
These were pretty amazing!I took the advice of some other's and doubled the filling and added a little more lemon juice to the filling.Everyone loved them,including my daughter who does not care too much for lemon.I can't wait to make these for my mom when she comes for a visit.Easy to make and taste amazing,thanks for the recipe!
