About this Cook
I work as a Respiratory Therapist in a large hospital. Married since 1985. Two kids who love to eat! Daughter is rather picky about calories (as any 20 yr old would be) and son eats everything! Hubby is a meat and tatoes kind of guy, but does enjoy 'mixin it up' now and then.
My favorite things to cook
I love to make Chicken Enchiladas, pasta dishes, salisburry steak from 1/2 lb. hamburger (and it feeds a family of 4!!)...all sorts of things. I also like making cookies
My favorite family cooking traditions
Carmels at Christmas...Pasta salad for Easter and picnics...
My cooking triumphs
Hmmm....
My cooking tragedies
OMG....When I first got married, I thought it would be so easy to make those hot dog things with the bread on the outside....I used a loaf of frozen bread dough for 6 hotdogs, and I laughed my arse off when they came out of the oven looking like the bread completely swallowed up the dogs! I took a picture of my family's reaction.....and it is, to this day, one of my most favorite pics of them.

Hummus III
This is the first time I've ever made hummus. I did make a mistake, though. I used two cans of drained garbanzos instead of two cups. I didn't have a food processor, so I used my blender. It came out perfectly. Much cheaper to make yourself and way better tasting.

Slow Cooker Venison Burritos
This was a really good way to use up some venison. I didn't have a jar of salsa, nor the Mexicorn, so I improvised. I made my own salsa (tastes better than the jarred stuff). Mexicorn is just corn with red and green peppers in it, so I used a can of regular corn and added a little bit of chopped red and green peppers . Everything else I did as the recipe states. This made the house smell great. We let it cool off quite a bit before we attempted to roll it into burritos, as mine was just a little 'soupier' than I would have liked. (probably because I made my own salsa, and it gives off more juice when cooked) I drained a little of the extra juices off and put them in with my rice dish. We served this with Spanish rice and a salad. Big hit! Saving it to my recipe box. Thanks for sharing.

Peach Cobbler Dump Cake I
Have made this several times as written. Turns out good every time. I made it with a butter pecan cake mix today and it is even better. I personally melt the butter and drizzle over the whole thing. Enjoy!
