About this Cook
Married for 17 years, I'm presently "retired" from working at our sound and lighting company in order to home school our three 9-year-olds.
My favorite things to cook
Anything fast, cheap and easy! I also enjoy cooking for the freezer, it's become a way of life for us.
My cooking triumphs
It had to have been the time that my husband (a strictly meat and potatoes guy) and I decided to be vegetarians for one week. It was a huge success, and he developed a renewed taste for veggies. He's more open minded about cuisine now, I think, because of that.
My cooking tragedies
I cannot multi-task. Recently I baked a chocolate cake for my husband's birthday, and made the mistake of trying to manage what my son was doing at the same time. As a result, I forgot to add sugar to the cake. It was vile. Trust me. LOL

Seafood Salad III
Definitely too much dressing, I cut everything in half and added it to 12 oz. of imitation crab. VERY delicious! I'll make this again!

Pumpkin Pie
Like other reviewers said, I had to increase the baking time by @ 20-25 minutes. Other than that, the pie was delicious! I used fresh pumpkin, very nice flavor, good balance of spices for my family. I'll make this again for sure.

Cheesy Chicken and Rice Casserole
Excellent comfort food! My 11-year-olds request this now. I find that using extra-sharp white cheddar helps give it a bit more flavor. Also needs 2 cans of soup instead of one. One of these days I'll probably try adding some frozen broccoli or green beans to it for color and veggies.
