Small part of my garden 2008
About this Cook
We're home bodies, I garden, cook/bake 4 nights a week. I make the 3 of our lunches everyday then head off to work. We go out to eat on the weekend evenings. I work part time M-TH about 30 hours a week. On my days off I clean house, get groceries, garden work etc...
My favorite things to cook
No favorites really, my husband comes to this site and finds recipes, prints them and I made them. Most of the time it works out very well so thank you everyone who submits recipes!!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Making Lefsa. My Grandma and I made Lefsa since around 1982 maybe longer. Then our daughter now 16 helped us many years. After Grandma passed away in 2008, our daughter and I are going to make it every year for our family. 2008 was the first year I/we Ever attempted Krum Kakas, because Grandma always made them. 1st batch great--2nd batch not so much....Live and Learn right.
My cooking triumphs
Canning Salsa and stewed tomatoes, it was really scary the first time, but now I think I have the hang of it. Alot of work, but well worth it.
My cooking tragedies
Almost always over cook pork chops. I've added an entire can of Chipotle to a recipe when it should have been 2 peppers from the can. When I first started cooking a recipe called for 1 clove of garlic, well I used the whole HEAD thinking that was a clove. Thank god for Grandma and my mom and Mother-in-law without calling them in my early years I would never have made it this far in cooking.

Lime Chicken Soft Tacos
Love this recipe, I make it all the time. I usually add more Lime, and I cook the cut up chicken with the rest of the seasonings in one pan. YUM-thanks for the recipe

Frosted Banana Bars
These are REALLY really good. I add about a 1/4 cup extra bananas and always make a double batch. LOVE it, great way to use those bananas up that brown so fast.
