About this Cook
Happily married mommy of 4. Am just now going back to work part-time in the salon while kiddies are in school.
My favorite things to cook
Usually fast and easy meals. Inspired by Mexican, Italian, or healthier versions of southern style meals.
My favorite family cooking traditions
The traditional Thanksgiving turkey and our Christmas tradition is Mexican.
My cooking triumphs
When everyone at the table is happy, which is quite often... lol!
My cooking tragedies
Occassionally burning things by forgetting about them!

Frosted Pecan Bites
These are VERY good & my family really enjoyed them. I added a dash of cinnamon to the sugar before adding the pecans. No complaints. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 ONLY because my grandmother's recipe is still the very best in my opinion, and I haven't found it yet. Will keep trying, and will make these & tweak them until I'm 100% sure they're as close to grandma's as I can find. :o)

Grandma's Egg Custard Pie
This pie came out perfect! Silky, perfect custard! However, I read some reviews from others who seemed to have problems. No spongy texture if you add the scalded milk VERY slowly while whisking constantly. Also to prevent custard from going under shell, be sure and poke holes w/fork all over the shell including the sides FIRST to prevent bubbling. That would be for any pie recipe.
