About this Cook
I am a born again christian and best friend and wife to my husband Michael. I am a stay at home mom to our four children. I love to read and study the Bible and listen to sermons. I enjoy cooking when I can do it in my own quiet time and am not rushed. I love to try new dishes on a regular basis. I enjoy computer hobbies when I can find time for them.

My favorite things to cook
I love to try a large variety of foods and I honestly cannot say that I have a favorite thing to cook other than cookies. I am obsessed with making cookies for some reason :)
My favorite family cooking traditions
Southern Food. My mom taught me from a young age to cook southern food. T
My cooking triumphs
Pulling off the entire Thanksgiving Dinner for our family without a large amount of time to prep the day before.
My cooking tragedies
Lemon Meringue Pie: I rushed this one when I should have taken my time. I have to admit I do not have a fail proof tried and true recipe for a great pie crust but had used this particular one before so I thought that I was safe rushing :) Not! That crust was awful. I am not sure what I did wrong with it. I also accidentally added the whites to the batter instead of saving for my Meringue topping. It was just a complete wreck. I think it was just an off night for me.

Ranch Dressing II
Very good recipe! I think next time I will use buttermilk to make it more the way that I love but this was a great dressing. My husband loved it! Thanks!

Seven Layer Taco Dip
Wonderful! I did omit the green bell pepper also and I added a layer of guacamole on top of the sour cream mixture. Everyone loved it!

Strawberry Cake II
We enjoyed the taste of strawberry but we felt it was an ugly color :) I am not sure if it was my fault or not but it was not a bright pink. It seemed a bit dull kinda like dirty strawberry color. I think next time I will add food coloring to it and also I added 1 tsp of strawberry extract to my batter before I baked the cake. We will definitely make it again with these few alterations.
