My husband and I
About this Cook
I am a 24 year Occupational Therapist at a Rehab Hospital,married for 2 years, and trying to find time to keep up with this cooking scene! I've been baking since I was little, but I'm learning how to come up with new dinners that keep me excited to make them!
My favorite things to cook
I love trying out new things, so I love this website. I tend to go for things with higher ratings because I don't like to get disappointed! Favorite things: Pies, Desserts, Chicken, Baked ziti... Anything that someone asks me to make again! My husband gets mad that I rarely make the same thing again. I have to use the recipe box option or I forget I've even made something :)
My favorite family cooking traditions
Every fall I like to make a pear pie. When I lived with my parents, I would use the pears in our backyard, but the store ones are usually just as good! I also love making this fabulous carrot cake (I should share the recipe!) for Christmas.
My cooking triumphs
I am happy anytime I successfully have a dinner for more than four people. Guess that might change as I get older, but for now, that's my triumph!
My cooking tragedies
As I said, I love to bake. Even if I have perfected something, I'll try out a new recipe. But it was a disaster when I tried out the perfect, big, chewy, chocolate chip cookie recipe. Oh well, you can't win them all!

Funnel Cakes IV
I could use some education on how to make it look as pretty as the pictures. I tried the ketchup bottle and went in a circular motion but it ended up a little too doughy & pancakish. It tasted really good though so I still rated it a 5 b/c it's my fault it looked ugly!

Chicken Enchilada Casserole II
Made this twice. The first time I followed the amounts given in the recipe but added in corn and black beans (instead of chili beans)to the chicken layer. My hubbie loved it and made me make it for a group dinner. When I did, I doubled the recipe but increased the chicken to the sour cream/salsa so it was not as soup like (and didn't look as gross when you scooped it out). I rec. making it that way... but just eyeball everything, don't worry too much about measuring (makes it much easier!). EVERYONE asked for the recipe... they loved it.

Death By Chocolate III
The only change I made was to cook the brownies using the "cake-like" directions. Everyone RAVED about this and it's really easy/not that expensive to make.
