In a blog last year, I mentioned that every January/February I get the cleaning bug. Nothing’s safe. I go through closets, cupboards and files. If it’s not nailed down, it’s gone. I love the feeling of a clean, fresh start. What I didn’t mention is that I also go through the pantry and our very… MORE

About this Cook
I am a wife and mother of 5 grown children. Being semi-retired has allowed me time to do things I've put off doing; like really learning to cook and bake. I also love to garden, read, scrapbook and just recently I've gotten into geneology. I am loving this phase of my life with my husband and family.
My favorite things to cook
Fresh garden vegetables and fruits. The anticipation of what my garden will produce is always a joy. I also love to bake. And, Mostly I love to bake cupcakes and sweet treats.

Sweet Onion Pie
I made one substitution to the ingredient list, and followed the recipe exactly. I used a store-bought pie crust in a pie tin, because I had two in the freezer I needed to use. This dish was just downright delicious! My husband asked me if I put sugar in it. I used Sweet Vidalia Onions and carmelized them per the instructions, so I'll assume that's the reason it was so sweet. We both loved this dish and so did DD Christine NICU-RN. I will be making again very soon.... until the end of the Vidalia Onion season and those sweet gems are no longer in my local super market. Also, I don't think I will try the buttery cracker crust. I don't need to. It was good using the premade crust.

Cinco De Mayo Salad
Made for our Cinco de Mayo gathering: The reviews from everyone was “Santo Guacamole!” (Holy Guacamole!) This is SO delicious! I made it exactly as written with no changes or substitutions. It’s perfect, delicious and filling. This is my new favorite salad. I made it for May 5th, and I’ll make it for July 4th, August 3rd, September 2, and October 1st. Absolutely LOVE this salad!!!

Awesome Asparagus Sandwich
This was so good! The roasted red pepper goes so well with the Asparagus. The swiss cheese didn't overpower the taste of the asparagus either. Toasty and tastey. The dressing was a little runny, but it was good. I think this sandwich would make up nicely as a paninni too.
