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

Cheese Lover's Chicken
Very, very good! I used my own spice combination for the sauce, but I'm sure what's listed will still be excellent. I also used seasoned instead of plain crumbs, because that's what I had on hand. The chicken came out so tender, it was like a healthier version of chicken parm, because it didn't need to be breaded and fried first, seriously! My husband and kids raved! I'll be making this one again.

California-Style Spanish Rice
A few changes - I only used one large skillet for everything, and I sauteed the peppers with the onions. After I removed the onions and peppers from the pan, I just dumped in the olive oil and sauteed the rice. I also ended up having to add another 1/2 to 1 cup of broth, as the rice was dry and sticking to the skillet after only 10 minutes on simmering. In the end, this was a very tasty and easy side dish. Not only did my husband enjoy it, my kids gobbled it up - that's success in my family! Next time I may add some chopped green olives.

Baked Potato Soup
Outstanding! A bit spicy for my young children, so I will cut the pepper in half next time for them. They still enjoyed it, however. I doubled the recipe and used whole milk instead of the half & half - it still came out very nice.
