About this Cook
I'm a stay at home Mom to two beautiful kids and a wonderful Husband. I love cooking and have been cooking since age 9. I make my own bread, canned goods (jellies, veges, etc) soap, yogurt, and anything else I can figure out how to make at home, with healthy ingredients.
My favorite things to cook
I love cooking old recipes from scratch. I love baking fresh breads, and not feeding my family convenience food
My favorite family cooking traditions
Every Christmas Eve I make Chile Rellenos which my family loves, which is a tradition passed down from my Grandma. I love you Grandma.
My cooking triumphs
I make the most beautiful 100% whole wheat bread loaves ever! I also decorate some killer cakes too :-)
My cooking tragedies
I failed miserably in 7th grade Home Ec. to make a pie crust, and have been afraid of them ever since!

Rhubarb Strawberry Jam
My go-to recipe and everyone RAVES about my jam. LOVE that there isn't any actual strawberries. You'd never know, and it saves a fortune over buying fresh berries. THANK YOU so much for sharing. I make 60 or more jars a year and always run out!

Sloppy Joes II
YUMMY and so easy! The taste was delicious, and my kids devoured it! Only change was I left out the bell pepper because my kids don't like green pepper. Next time I'll sub red bell pepper. Going into my regular rotation. LOVED that it goes in the crockpot.

My Best Clam Chowder
Wow! Easy, and delicious! Was done and ready in about 30 minutes! I love that this recipe doesn't use canned soup as a base. I did alter by using regular 2% milk instead of 1/2 and 1/2 (because that is what we use) and a bit of garlic powder, and it was still creamy and thick. Will make this a part of our regular family menu. THANK YOU for sharing!
