About this Cook
I am the mom of a little girl who will eat just about anything even if she doesn't like it so I have it pretty easy. I don't have a lot of time to cook, but I don't cook prepackaged food too often due to the fact I think children need to eat healthy fresh food. I try to cook with as much vegetables as I can.
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook with my daughter who is seven. She already mastered cutting soft foods and making her own PB&J. I have to say that my favorite things to cook are anything my daughter can cook with me. We make eggs and potatos alot because she can help and it's fast. We make alot of salads too, but it's usually out of a bag with a few more vegetables added in.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Making Christmas cookies with my daughter is my favorite tradition.
My cooking triumphs
I can fry an egg...don't laugh...it took me 2 years of eating nasty eggs to get it right. I can cook pancakes until they are done too...lol. I have also mastered cooking popcorn on the stove which is very dangerous I have discovered. I have also learned how to adjust spices to accommodate for the lack of salt I can use due to my boyfriends high blood pressure.
My cooking tragedies
I still can't seem to make good pork chops. I just think they are nasty when I make them.

Amazing Whole Wheat Pizza Crust
This is a great recipe. I made it exactly as written and it is a very good dough. I make 3 pizzas out of it. I also roll it out over corn meal the last time before I stretch out and it adds a great texture, but it is great make it as is too. The only down is that it has to be a weekend meal because it takes a long time to rise, but hey it's dough what can you do.

Kung Pao Chicken
I made this recipe exactlly as it was written. I didn't care for it so much. It was hot and that was about it. It was just okay not great. I will be looking for something else. It was fun to try, but I rather have take out Kunk Pao.

Chocolate Chip Orange Zucchini Bread
I make this recipes exactly as it was written and I found it to be good...not great. I was surprised how much of the orange flavor came through. I think I will make it again just when I am looking for something different.
