About this Cook
I am a middle school teacher. I love dogs and my garden and love being outdoors.
My favorite things to cook
I like savory things best. My favorite dish is gumbo with cheesy grits.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My family did not have many so I am working on creating some.
My cooking triumphs
I am still new to some of the fancier things and tried one of Emerils recipes and had to wing it because my puff pastry dough was dried out. I made a huge batch of pie crust and pulled it off.
My cooking tragedies
Too many to name. I once frosted a cake with a cake mix. I forgot to add sugar to pumkin pie on Thanksgiving....etc.

White Cheese Chicken Lasagna
This was very good! We enjoyed it for several meals. I made my own white sauce and used noodles that you are not suppose to pre boil. I am not completely sure I liked these new noodles but the dish was great and I will make it again.

Mom's Zucchini Bread
This was a great starting place for the best zucchini bread I have ever tasted. I tweeked it a little. I substituted 1 cup w/w flour for one of the flours, added a touch of wheat germ, I cut the oil in half and added 1/2 c applesauce. I also used brown sugar and raw sugar and reduced the sugar by 1/4 cup. Next time I will try even less sugar... ( I am diabetic so trying to keep it a bit lower). By accident I forgot the nuts so I added them to the top at the last min. I think I like them better there.
