Saw this somewhere & found it to be helpful.
1 star - Don't Make Again
2 stars - If everyone else likes it, I'll eat it.
3 stars - Make again, but adjust it.
4 stars - This was good just as it was.
5 stars - I'd eat everday. Save it and I might want it for my birthday meal.
MORE
I am married with 3 children & 1 granddaughter. My kids are a 21-year old daughter, a 6 year old son, & a 3 year old son.
My favorite things to cook
Quick & Easy - in a slow cooker with not much work. I tend to get distracted while cooking.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I have put together a cookbook for my family, in-laws & my work. The work one contained about 600 recipes in it. I love to try new recipes to find the "perfect" one. I've found many on this site.
Since my parents are slowing down & going out to eat more often now, I've taken on Sunday Meals for my family & parents. I've also taken on the Thanksgiving duty, but left Christmas Eve to my parents (steak & lobster...yummy!!)
My cooking triumphs
My families favorite is Chicken & Rice or Chicken Cordon Bleu (which was taken from this site). They also love the Chi-Chi's cornbread I make & I've found another cornbread recipe from this site that I LOVE!!
My cooking tragedies
I usually have to make Angel Food candy 2 or 3 times before it turns out good and doesn't burn. That's just 'cuz I don't focus 100% on it.
