About this Cook
I am a 38 year old working mother. I am married to a wonderful man and we have two terrific kids: an 8 year old daughter and a 6 year old son. I work as the Assistant Administrator at our local economic development office. In my free time I enjoy scrapbooking; I am also an avid reader, internet/computer geek, movie watcher, amateur photographer and news/ political addict!
My favorite things to cook
I really enjoy cooking the cajun food I grew up on! There is nothing better than AUTHENTIC cajun cooking! I also like experimenting with different recipes especially ones that are quick and easy to make during the week. On the weekends I prefer trying recipes that are a bit more challenging. I like cooking all different types of ethnic food.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Making the delicious cajun foods that are staples down here. Gumbo, sauce piquant, crawfish ettoufee, boiled crawfish, jambalaya, crab stew etc. These are not healthy dishes but they are SO good!
My cooking triumphs
I finally found a crawfish ettoufee recipe that wins raves from my family! I am also a great dessert maker.
My cooking tragedies
I managed to completely screw up a tuna casserole! After the casserole was halfway thru baking I realized I had forgotten to put in....THE TUNA! My family has never let me live that one down.

Loose Meat on a Bun, Restaurant Style
This is an easy and tasty recipe when you have little time and/or energy to cook. The only changes we made was to add some garlic and cajun seasoning to give the meat more flavor. The meat was moist and full of flavor.

Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas
Had high hopes for this recipe but ended up disappointed. My DH was looking for a chicken enchilada recipe that used a green sauce and this one sounded perfect. Loved all the ingredients and followed the recipe with only a few minor changes. But the sauce was clotted coming out of the oven and the taste was just not very good. No one complained but no one finished their serving either. Will try to find another recipe.

Simple Ranchy Breaded Fish Fillets
This fish was only okay in my book. Not really a fan of using bread crumbs as a coating since I can never get the food crispy no matter how light the coating or how I cook it. Next time will probably just skip the bread crumbs and use the ranch dressing as a marinade or basting sauce on the fish because it did have a nice flavor.
