Open Faced Broiled Roast Beef Sandwich
Mrs Mike
About this Cook
I'm a busy mom to four little yahoo's. I love to cook, and enjoy trying new recipes with my family.
My favorite things to cook
desserts! I'm always asked to bring a dessert to gatherings. I seem to be able to spot a good one in a cookbook, lol
My favorite family cooking traditions
during the holidays, my grandmother, cousins, aunts, anyone female relate, lol, will get together and prepare for whatever feast we were serving. I learned so many things from different people, and it was fun too.
My cooking triumphs
I threw a baby shower tea for a friend last year. I got my timing just perfect, and my hot horderves came out right as the guests arrived, and the food flowed really well with the event. I did a tripple berry trifle (first try at this!) that everyone thought I had made at a local bakery, and everyone was amazed that I had made all the food (and I've had people since ask me to parties for them, lol)
My cooking tragedies
my first year in college, I decided to have some of the other students over who were also unable to go home for the holidays. I've watched my mom do the turkey for years, and I was confident I could pull it off. Yeah, we ended up all chipping in for Boston Market, lol. It still gives me a good chuckle every holiday season

Jerky Lover's Jerky - Sweet, Hot and Spicy!
this is fantastic!! I was surprised at the reviewer who didn't think it smelled good while dehydrating because my entire family kept begging to know when it would be done! The seasoning on this is just right - no to sweet, not to spicy - the perfect combination of both for a jerky.

Big Al's K.C. Bar-B-Q Sauce
My family and I love this tangy barbeque sauce! I've made it as the directions state, and it was good. When I made it the second time, I opted for 3 cups of tomato sauce and 1 cup of ketchup to cut back on the sugar. Both ways were excellent! I plan to use this on a roast in the crockpot to make barbecued beef sandwiches next. Yummy!!

Blueberry Coffee Cake I
I brought this to a mother/daughter tea today, and it received rave reviews! I was concerned that I didn't have enough batter to fill my bunt pan, but it turned out perfect. I also followed the previous advice to use 3/4 buttermilk and 1 1/2 cups of blueberries. This worked well for me. The cake was moist and yummy. I also used frozen blueberries, as that was what was available to me, and they worked just fine.
