About this Cook
I am a busy registered nurse who raised 3 boys and I very much so enjoy cooking for them. I have a new grand son (my first) as well whom I enjoy spending time with. I love trying new recipes and get inspired from shows such as Top Chef and from many on the Food network as well.
My favorite things to cook
Comfort foods such as meatloaf, roast beef. I enjoy mexican foods fajitas, refried beans, taco pizza. My kids love my thanksgiving turkey and stuffing and cream chipped beef. I love baking.. cakes, and other deserts, but for others..I need to lower my weight.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Grandmas famous punch and sandwiches with sides on Christmas eve.The punch recipe is a favorite and has been passed down for several generations. Grandmas famous ham, baked beans and scalloped potatoes for Easter.
My cooking triumphs
Learning to cook anything that was not burnt or followed an exact recipe!
My cooking tragedies
Burning so many things and being so intimidated by anything in the kitchen, when my kids were growing up. All first trays of cookies baked were burned (Christams)That became a tradition!

Delilah's Frosted Cut-Out Sugar Cookies
OK, so i followed the recipe to a T, the dough was awful to work with. It kept cracking and just took so much extra effort to try to get a cookie shape. Any suggestions? The cookie has very little flavor, havent frosted them yet. Frankly i dont know if i want to put any more energy into these. Maybe all the flavor is up the the icing?

Hot Spiced Cranberry Cider
I made this for a few fussy family members over Halloween weekend. It was easy and Delish!Big hit. They said it tasted like hot apple pie in a beverage! Now a new traditional seasonal beverage for my family!

Awesome Slow Cooker Pot Roast
I let my guests and family rate this. I followed a lot of the recommended simple changes. It was my first crock pot recipe and I took a risk b/c it was for a dinner party! It was easy and sooo delicious. I had to send home take home containers
