About this Cook
I'm a SAHM farmer's wife to 4 awesome kids, married to the love of my life for 13+ years.
My favorite things to cook
Anything that is quick & easy, healthy (most of the time) and constitutes as "comfort food". I don't ask for much! :)
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love being in the kitchen with my kids (some days!) and having my entire family to my home for special occasion dinners (birthdays, holidays, etc.) is always a treat. It seems like we almost always have the same things, but are not afraid to throw a new recipe into the mix every once in a while.
My cooking triumphs
I love to mega-cook. I used to be more intentional about it. A girlfriend and I would get together and cook 60+ meals for our families in one day (30+ meals per family). With four kids, I'm not that organized, but still like to spend a half-day in the kitchen cooking up multiple meals that will freeze well and help me out when in a bind at meal-time for the weeks following.
My cooking tragedies
There are way too many than I can list here. :) I do wish I could cook without a recipe, but that's not me...doesn't matter if it's Duck ala Orange, Sloppy Joes or Mac & Cheese. I must have a recipe!

B and L's Strawberry Smoothie
Very yummy! Used frozen strawberries and no ice in my Vitamix. Everyone loved it!

Raspberry Rice Pudding
Our family has this at many of our special family gatherings, but it is a must for the Christmas dinner table as it is just beautiful with it's striking red berries and white creamy rice pudding. I layer mine in a trifle bowl for a very pretty presentation. The recipe easily doubles and keeps for several days (keeping the rice & berries separate until serving) so that I can bring it to someone else's house for another holiday gathering.

Grandma's Green Bean Casserole
Wow ~ I served this with Christmas dinner and it was loved by all, young & old, vegetable lovers and non. Thanks for a great alternative to the fried onion green bean casserole!
