About this Cook
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mother and I bake holiday cookies every year for all our friends & family for Christmas. She has baked Holiday cookies since I was a kid, I have always helped out. I look forward to doing that each year. It is a really fun and yummie way to get me in the holiday spirit.
My cooking triumphs
I made my first Easter dinner this year. I made my own Honey baked ham, lemon zest Green Beans, twice baked cheesy Potato's, glazed Carrots, cornbread and Pumpkin Pie. It was Delicious. I really impressed myself. I also just BBQ'd ribs for the first time on Labor Day. They were FANTASTIC! If I do say so myself.
My cooking tragedies
I tried to make Pineapple upside down cake once and when I was flipping the sucker over after hours of tedious preparation and cooking. I got a little too over zealous and it slide out of the pan and rolled right off the counter onto the floor. I was so so upset. I almost wanted to eat it off the floor. haha! What a bummer! I also tend to leave out the meat on dishes. I am basically a Vegetarian so when I make things I dont always think about putting meat in dishes. But my daughter loves meat and so does Juan. Several times when I have made dinner we will be eating it and Juan will look at me and say . . . Wasn't there suppose to be meat in this Casserole and I'm like CRAP! I knew I forgot something. Oooopsie! Better add that in for the leftovers! hehe

Rosemary Ranch Chicken Kabobs
My family loves this recipe we always add in veggies for cooking, we love mushrooms, tomatoes, onion, zucchini, and yellow squash. We have added this into our regular rotation! Yummy!

Cajun Boiled Peanuts
Oooo These are SPICY! If you like HOT food these are great. I think Boiled PEanuts are an acquired taste. And being from the South I have definitly acquired a taste for Boiled Peanuts. These is a great recipe. Reminds me of the peanuts you can pick up on the side of the road from local farmers in the south. Yum! Great for Football season!! I always bring Boiled Peanuts to tailgate! Be careful not to overcook the peanuts. Nobody likes mooshy Peanuts after all.

Slow Cooker Country-Style Spareribs
What a great recipe. This tates so much like the ribs my grandmother used to make in the south. Yummie! The ribs fall right off the bone. I agree with some of the others about boiling the ribs first not frying them. (Its healthier that way as well) I really enjoyed the sauce and all the veggies. Great way to sneak them in for kids who are picky about veggies. I also chopped up some carrots and served over egg noodles. As somebody suggested. It was wonderful. I highly recommend this recipe to all. Enjoy!
