About this Cook
I've been cooking since I was old enough to stand on a chair and cook. Over the last 30+ years I have refined my cooking to chef quality. I just love to cook!!!
My favorite things to cook
Dinner foods, lunches and appetizers. Soups, stews, gumbos and one dish meals.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Garlic belongs in just about ANYTHING!
My cooking triumphs
Too many to count. My most recent is my homemade chili. I am going to add the recipe here.
My cooking tragedies
When I was a child, I once tried to boil potatoes without water. It didn't work.

Peanut Butter Haystacks
I learned how to make this in Home Economics class when I was 12 years old (I'm now 44 going on 45), so I know this is an old recipe, but definitely an old favorite! It's like you just made your own candy! LOVE IT!!!

Breakfast Sausage Casserole
what do you do with the shredded cheddar cheese? Eat it while you're cooking? Just kidding, I get that you are supposed to cover it with the cheese before baking. However, 4 cups is an ungodly amount! 2 cups, I've found to be much better. Love this recipe! The only extra thing I added was some chopped chives to the sausage while it was browning. GREAT ADDITION!

Hamburger Soup
Can't seem to bring myself to use chicken broth with beef. Used Beef broth instead, but this recipe is missing a great deal of flavor. Just sayin.
