About this Cook
Hi there, my name is Kelly Campbell, I am in my thirties, married and have two children (one boy and one girl). My husband and I both love to cook and are both members of AllRecipes.com. This is truly the greatest recipe site we've found and use it almost on a daily basis. I think we consider ourselves intermediate cooks, but we're working on it!
My favorite things to cook
I like to cook almost anything - although baking isn't really my strong suit. I think my favourite thing to cook at present time would be pasta dishes, they're incredibly versatile and fit into our lifestyle really well.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I don't really have any family cooking traditions, although my mother is a FANTASTIC baker, so I try to take as many hints and tips from her that I can.
My cooking triumphs
We recently had a dinner party and served quite an extensive meal, appetizers, soup, salad, entree and dessert. I did a lot of the prep work before our guests arrived and that really reduced the amount of time spent in the kitchen. Everything went off without a hitch, the food (and the company) was excellent - everyone was raving about it!
My cooking tragedies
Hmmmm - there are so many, I just don't know where to begin :) The most recent I guess is that I spent a great deal of time marinating and then stuffing some chicken breasts, I took time to cook it just right, we were so excited about eating this dish - but it tasted awful because as it turned out, the chicken was freezer burned!!

Fajita Marinade I
This was pretty good - although I wish there had been a bit more smokiness to it. I will definitely use this recipe again, but next time, I will increase the liquid smoke flavoring to 1 tsp.

Cheesy Sliced Potatoes
These were brain-dead easy to make and SO good! I scaled the recipe to 4 servings as it was just my husband and I and our two small children. I followed the recipe to a T with one exception...and it wasn't intentional. I mis-read the recipe method and combined the sour cream with the milk and poured it all over the potatoes, topped with cheese and cooked for another 4 minutes. The end result was very good...even the kids ate it and that's saying something!!

Country Apple Dumplings
I rated this dessert 4 stars, but it could definitely be 5 stars with a few tweaks. I cut the recipe in half because I was making this for my husband and kids. I also used Lobo apples because that's what I had on hand. I messed this up a little bit in that I melted the butter in the microwave and added the sugar and cinnamon, but it would have worked out much better if I'd done it on the stovetop and melted the sugar (with a touch of water) and then added the butter. I also wish that I'd used half an apple for each. As it was, I used 1/4 apple per crescent roll, but it would have been tastier with 1/2 an apple; I also wish that I had used more than 1/2 can of Mountain Dew. Anyway - the end result was very, very good (perhaps a bit too sweet for us, so maybe less sugar next time) but I will defintely make this again.
