About this Cook
I have 5 kids in all. 3 Bio and 2 Step. A multitude of picky eaters makes cooking stressful at times. I try to please everyone but I am not a short order cook either.
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook and bake but my favorites would be cooking large meals for family or baking cookies for my boys.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I generally host majority of the holiday meals. Most of the time if anyone wants to have a gathering, I am the one who hosts the meal!
My cooking triumphs
I made an awesome turkey last Thanksgiving by brining it. Of course most of the recipes I make and get rave reviews always come from allrecipes!
My cooking tragedies
I still have problems with pie crust and mashed potatoes! I never like how my mashed potatoes turn out and my pie crusts are total fail.

Caramel Shortbread Squares
This was easy. I placed the shortbread in the freezer to cool and then added the caramel. Then cooled the caramel layer in the freezer. Then melted chocolate on top and then chilled that in the freezer. It was excellent and reminded me of a twix bar. Will make again.

Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread
I preheated the cast iron skillet with veg oil as recommended by another reviewer. Poured the batter into the pan and then drizzled honey on top. This turned out excellent. Will make again.

Caramel Apple Pork Chops
I marinated the pork chops in applejuice/soy and wow they were really juicy and tender. I will definitely do that again. This recipe is really good but no one cared for the apples. I guess we see apples as a dessert and not part of a main course. Will definitely make this again but just without the apples or brush the apples off after they bake. Thanks for the new way to make pork chops!
