About this Cook
I'm 28, married, no kids. I come from a big family, and have prepared food for an eclectic mix of vegetarians, low-carb dieters, lactose-intolerants, peanut-allergics, diabetics, and major food-lovers.
My favorite things to cook
Dishes that my husband especially loves, because he is always so appreciative!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Tuna casserole with rainbow rotini and mushroom soup. Hamburger goop with rice. Bacon-topped cornbread. Mashed potatoes and corn pudding at Thanksgiving. Country ham and biscuits with red-eye gravy. Coffee.
My cooking triumphs
Pork tenderloin and steamed kale with lime sauce. I love it, my husband loves it, everyone I've served it to loves it, and it's all mine. It makes me happy to know I invented something people love.
My cooking tragedies
Don't ever use whole wheat flour to make a roux for gumbo. Just trust me.

Herbed Lentils and Rice
I was out of onion so I just left it out; I don't care for Swiss cheese so I left that out too. Turned out great. It's nice to have a basic recipe for making lentils with rice in the oven. I am going to try it with spinach next.

Banana Walnut Cornbread
I didn't find it necessary to mix the ingredients in a food processor. I just omitted the sliced banana at the end, and mashed and mixed the 3 bananas and the wet ingredients all together with a whisk. I paid attention to the reviews of this recipe that complained of "crumbliness;" so I added an egg along with the wet ingredients, and mine did not turn out crumbly at all. Additional changes I made include almonds instead of walnuts, and I added a teaspoon of salt. It's yummy!

Cranberry Chicken II
I like this recipe. I browned the chicken on both sides before pouring the sauce on and baking, so it took more like 30 minutes to get done. Also, I only used one packet of onion soup mix. Tasted great!
