About this Cook
I have just started cooking on a regular basis, but I think I am a natural. At least my family loves my cooking! lol
My favorite things to cook
Anything with garlic and onions! I love vegetables and low-fat, low-salt, high protein meals and desserts! Update: I'm developing a raging sweet-tooth....maybe it's the salt/sugar/fat deprivation! lol
My favorite family cooking traditions
There are several dishes I have no idea how to spell, but are supposedly traditions for my Polish family...one is Pierogi (cottage cheese and blueberries or potatoes and chives) and Goumki {rice and beef rolled into (cabbage leaves and baked in tomato sauce). Both super yummy!!!
My cooking triumphs
Every completed recipe feels like a triumph! But I'm pretty happy about learning to use filo dough.
My cooking tragedies
Tomato soup that tasted like raw tomatoes no matter how long I cooked it! haha

Halloween Bloody Baked Rats
My daughter LOVED telling Grandma that we'd be having "Bloody Rats" for dinner! I didn't do the cheese thing. I added the worcestershire sauce and some soy sauce and garlic powder to the meat. I shaped 7 rats, put them on a drip pan (not sure if that's what it's called) so that the fat would drip away from the meat. I baked it like this for 25 minutes. Then I put them in a baking dish with a large can of pasta sauce poured over and around the rats and baked them for 10 minutes, turned off the heat while I finished the rest of my dinner. It was perfect!!! And Grandma said, "I love these rats! We should have them more often!". My daughter got a kick out of this! I paired this all with witches fingers (biscuits shaped into fingers with almond slivers as nails), boiled brains (a whole cauliflower, cut in half and boiled for 10 minutes and drizzled with watered down ketchup when served), eyeballs (deviled eggs with an olive for the iris), worms (spaghetti pre-chopped into small pieces) and "Kitty Litter Cake" from this site. Dinner was horrific! lol

Uglies
So simple, yet ultra tasty! I used the "No Fail Biscuits" recipe on this site for the shell. OMG Each one of us had 3! lol
