About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
I'm more of a baker then stove top cook, although I do it all. I have a sweet tooth and love to bake cakes, bars, cheesecakes and cookies. I'm from the midwest and so also love to bake casseroles and main dishes in the oven as they are easy to prepare.

Creamy Split Pea Soup
I made a few changes. First I soaked and entire bag (14oz) peas in cold water overnight and changed the water a couple times. Second I cooked the peas in three cans of chicken stock and about a cup of water instead of all water until the peas were soft. And third I used half-n-half instead of heavy cream. Then after pureeing all the ingredients I added more cubed ham (about a cup and a half). So it wasn't all creamy. It turned out very good, but made a lot for two people. I decided to freeze some for another day. I will make again, but will probably only puree half of it to keep a little chunkyness to the soup.

My Best Clam Chowder
This was my first attempt at Clam Chowder. It was very good. I used the suggestion of another and added 6 strips of cooked crumbled bacon. I also sauteed the veggies in some of the bacon grease and then added the clam juice till the veggies were tender. I also added cut up cooked shrimp and some flaked crab meat. I did not add the red wine vinegar. It was awesome and my boyfriend loved it and I've made it now several times. Thanks -Great recipe!
