About this Cook
I love God, my family and my friends, and that about sums it up! I do enjoy other things, but I am being brief.
My favorite things to cook
Sweets...but I try not to cook them too much because they are gone in days.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Weekend breakfast. During the weekdays, we eat cereal, or anything fast. I take my time to cook a great breakfast on the weekends.
My cooking triumphs
I am not sure, but I do get great feedback from my picky kids and husband. They give me great compliments on my cooking, which makes me feel great and makes me want to try new recipies to delight them.
My cooking tragedies
My first Thanksgiving meal. I haven't cooked one since, but I am going to try this year.

Mom's Best Spaghetti Sauce
I gave this recipe 5 Stars based on the following from a previous review from Debra. I made a big batch and froze 1/2 of it. I also took the advise of another and omitted the white sugar and added brown sugar instead. Delicious! Per Debrah, "I deleted the mushrooms, parmesan cheese, and the baking soda. I add a little more garlic then this recipe calls for and NO water. I also add oregano to mine. When cooking it is important to cook the onions and garlic in some olive oil first. This brings out the flavor. I also add the fresh parsley basil and oregano (chopped), and salt and pepper to that first and cook a few minutes. Then I add the whole tomatoes and the juice in the can, very important to take your hands to them and crush them a little. I let that come to a boil first before adding the sauce. After adding the sauce, I simmer and let it cook for 3 or 4 hours, stirring occasionally with the lid partially on. I also add additional seasoning as I taste and go along. What really turns the sauce unbelievably awesome is that I make meatballs seperately in a frying pan and once they are cooked I add them to the sauce during the last hour. WOW! gives the sauce such an awesome flavor."
