About this Cook
A Working Mom of 4 (teacher for 13 years)
My favorite things to cook
Stir Fry (simple dishes with shrimp), Grilling in the Summer
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mother's kolaches (they are the best and I'm not being biased) and her barbecue meatloaf
My cooking triumphs
Getting better at grilling every year
My cooking tragedies
I can not make cheese sauces to save my life! They always turn out floury or burnt or just plain nasty. I wish I could, though, because they taste so much better than melting processed cheese from the store.

Onion Pan-Fried Pork Chops
I used thin sliced chops with Lipton's Herb and Garlic instead of Onion Soup mix. Tasted good. I fried each chop 1 minute, flipped and cooked another minute, and repeated this two more times (total cook time 4 minutes). Toward the end I decided to just cook each side 2 minutes instead of flipping every other minute (bad idea....edges got too brown and curled up). Will make again because it was very easy and my husband liked it.

Avocado, Tomato and Mango Salsa
Really, really liked this. I was trying to duplicate Joe's Crab Shack's mango salsa. It's a close replication, but not quite. Even still, it's devine! Make sure that your avocado, tomato, and mango are not over ripe to avoid soupy mixtures.

Grilled Shrimp Tacos
Very simple, but very succelent. I made exactly like the recipe said (and grilled 3 minutes per side). Perfect! Paired with the tomato avocado mango salsa....restuarant quality!
