About this Cook
My favorite time of the day is settling into the kitchen to prepare dinner with a glass of red wine. I do not rush through the preparation and find it very relaxing. I have usually decided what I feel like before I am out of the shower in the morning and will look for something new to make at least a couple of times a week.
My favorite things to cook
I mostly like to prepare main dishes but lately, I have developed a bit of a sweet tooth. Pictures of sweet things are starting to entice me to bake although I have had more success with main courses. Love to try new things.

Restaurant-Style Coleslaw I
This was really good, however, I think you could do without either the milk or the buttermilk. I did use the packaged slaw because that's what I had but there just seemed to a little too much liquid that settled at the bottom after it sat for a bit. The flavor was great and I would def make again.

Slow Cooked Corned Beef for Sandwiches
This turned out wonderful. Started off on the stove simmering for a couple of hours then transferred to my crock pot on high for an additional 4 hours. I did use pickling spice, as my corned beef did not come with seasoning packets. Pickling spice includes chopped bay leaf, so did not add bay leaves. The meat was extremely tender and flavorful. Highly reccommend

Penne a la Vodka II
I have made this several times. The base sauce is wonderful however, I do add mushrooms, asparagus, chicken and just regular bacon. Sprinkle of parmesan on top. Very easy and always a hit.I don't like penne so I use spaghetti instead.
