Me and my girl
About this Cook
I work at a doggy gaycare. I have two kids - who are of course the best in the world!
My favorite things to cook
Whole foods. Health issues have forced me to learn and love. Simple carbs are a problem so we have to make most things from scratch.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Keep it simple - processed is a no no. We are from an Anglo Saxon background and are getting in touch with out roots. Great Britain lost a lot of it culinary traditions in the depression and world wars - which is a shame.
My cooking triumphs
Getting my kids to eat whole grains...and thank me for it! Finally figuring out how to make our own bread (thanks to a kitchenaid mixer - and my husband!)
My cooking tragedies
Whenever my mother visits and I try to impress her, everything goes to peices!

Three Bean Salad
Just super - and easy. This is the only bean salad I EVER make.

Avocado Scrambled Eggs
Thanks for the starting point. I added chopped tomatoes; onion and sprinkled with goats' cheese instead of bacon. Goats' cheese is my favorite combo with avocado. The salt and pepper are important to add flavor.

Whipped Cream Cream Cheese Frosting
Great tips about the heating and cooling of the mixing bowl. Mine was very smooth. I would only add half the cream next time though - personal preference though. Note - this makes enough for 12 HUGE cupcakes!
