Mischief, waiting for dinner
About this Cook
I am a wife, the mother of three kids and two cats. I work freelance from home, and am a part time student. I do almost all the cooking at our house - a complicated process, because I am vegetarian, my son is fructose intollerant, and my husband and daughters aren't either of those things. My challenge is to not make three different dinners every night.
My favorite things to cook
Soups and stews in the winter. Salads and food for the grill in the summer. Desserts, breads, pretty well anything.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Holiday meals, of course. Exam breakfasts for the kids. this is when you have a breakfast themed to the exam you are writing that day - ham omlette (Hamlet) and fruit shake with a speared fruit kabob (Shakespeare) for English exams, etc.
My cooking triumphs
Any dinner that makes those I love happy. We have a family rating system similar to the All Recipes one. Nothing gets made again unless it gets at least 4 stars.
My cooking tragedies
It's all a learning experience. A lime chiffon pie that stayed completely liquid in the centre, a 12 layer torte that tipped in the fridge so the whole bottom of the fridge was covered in torte. Oh well.

Pesto Chicken
This was pretty good and very easy to make. The quality of the pesto will determine how good your dish is, so home made will likely be the best. Thanks for a quick weeknight meal idea!

Colorful Frittata
This was very good, and a quick weeknight dinner with fruit and cheese toast. I substituted diced zucchini, which I cooked along with the other vegetables, for the ham so it would be vegetarian. It took about 10 minutes longer to cook than the directions said, and was not good as leftovers, but other than that, a great recipe. thanks!

Carolyn's Oh-So-Easy Cherry Cobbler
Tasted good, and it's certainly easy to make. Too much liquid was left in the bottom after baking, but that might have been my mistake as I had a larger container of cherries and may have over estimated the amount of cherry juice. Served warm with whipped cream. Thanks!
