About this Cook
Been married to a wonderful husband and father for 35 years. Loves to travel, cook, be with family and friends. Very involved in my religious activities. Love going to the Outer Banks every summer - where I have tried many of my new recies. My two kids are grown and out of the house - one moved to souther California and the other lives very near me. Would love to retire to the beach in NC; but now its hard since my kids are scattered. No grandkids so no pull there.....who knows. Hope to retire in a couple of years. e-mail - carousellady75@gmail.com
My favorite things to cook
Itailian and Mexician. Love trying new recipes - I especially love going out to dinner and then trying to create the same dish at home. I love this site, and gotten lots of recipes here. Its GREAT!! Love making meals, salad, desserts. I have a great collection - my family says I spoil them for almost any restruranent since I cook so good. (can't spell but can really cook) Best things are my Family/Friends FAMOUS Lasagana and then spagatti and also my great meatballs. I can make alot of mexician; a GREAT Maragarita.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Me creating new recipes epecially from resturants.
My cooking triumphs
I guess the best time was when we had gone to Carabbas and my husband ordered a sausage red sauce dish and loved it, then the next time we went they stopped making it. But the girl knew which dish it was. She got the chief to make it and then I got the name of the dish and found it on the web. Several weeks later when he asked whats for dinner, I said I had a surprise for him. After eating it and saying over and over how wonderful it was, he said was - this is so good I would order this in a resturant. Then when I told him what it was - he said - oh WOW - well this is better than theirs.
My cooking tragedies
Right after we were married - 1975 - I tried a new recipe using a pressure cooker. I did not know that you had to brown the chicken first. Needless to say it looked horrible. We could not get past that part and ended up just going out. We still laught about it till today.

Sesame Pasta Chicken Salad
I came home today and made this for dinner. It was great; made just as written except I cut in half. Just me and my husband. Its wonderful. I added pine nuts and it added a unique flavor to the recipe. I did not shredd the chicken I diced it before I cooked it and sautaed in sesame oil and butter; with garlic powder and season salt. Then chopped again - into small peices. YUMMY

Blue Cheese Cole Slaw
This slaw was Wonderful. We love Blue cheese, so I used extra; and realized after I made it that my Dijon mustard has horseradish in it. Gave it a nice kick. Will make again and hopefully take to my next gathering.

Banana Anna
I am drinking this as I rate it and its SUPER - I took earlier suggestions and froze the bananas; only used 1 cup of Milk; add about 1 teaspoon cinnamon, maybe little more; and then threw in some wheat germ. Sprinkled on top nutmeg and cinn. too. We love it.
