Me, with my husband, Wayne
About this Cook
I'm a Mom of two grown boys, and both my Hubby and I love to cook. I have a strong Art background and have done some private catering for friends on occasion. My husband is a retired Fireman from Baltimore,MD,,,and a wonderful cook himself.
My favorite things to cook
Anything with Veggies and fresh Herbs from my garden. Love using wild ingredients from our surrounding woods and rivers, i.e. wild morels, blackberries,ramps and trout to name afew.
My cooking triumphs
cooking for friends and having them enjoy it. What better triumph could a cook have?
My cooking tragedies
never "twick" your hubby's cooking, while he is in the bathroom. I added an extra "kick" to his crab-corn bisque.....but so did he! It was like eating fire.

Fruity Bundt Cake
very moist. I loved this cake ( and I really don't like cake that much ) The only reason I gave this a 4 star is because of my Husband's input. He would liked to have tasted more coconut. I did use half of the oil suggested and the other half applesauce. The cake held very well for several days ( there is only two of use to consume this ) Please do try this recipe...a nice mix of fruits and a moist cake indeed.

Roasted Garlic Zucchini and Tomatoes
yummm,,,,GREAT!!!!!!!! I tryed this tonight with "gifted" yellow cherry tomatoes, Zukes and summer Squash! The only change I made was ; I switching from red pepper flakes to a Mix of Black Pepper and Red Pepper called " Hot Shot " by McCormick. I will certainly make this recipe again! Easy and Healthy!

Awesome Red Pepper Hummus Dip
I have made this recipe several times and I always get rave reviews. However,in all fairness, I had to rate it a 4 star, as I made ALOT of modifications. I love garlic and spice, so increased that and cut back on the Lemon amount by half and included the lemon Zest. Just personal taste, but this is a wonderful 'Base' Recipe for making a delic hummus of your own. Don't buy the store stuff :(
