About this Cook

I am a stay at home wife and mother. I enjoy cooking passed down family recipes as well as new dishes. I am constantly looking for something to spice it up and keep dinner from being boring. My daughter is now interested in learning to cook. (Now if I could just get her to do dishes!)

My favorite things to cook

I love making soups and breads! Stuffed cabbage and chili are two more of my favorites.

My favorite family cooking traditions

Making homemade kolachys, chocolate crinkles, and sugar cookies. I love my husbands glazed ham on holidays and making Christmas cookies!

My cooking triumphs

I make a pretty mean pot of Chili. Awesome stuffed cabbage and pretty darned good Lasagna, so I have been told. My daughter likes to make Vegan brownies, cupcakes and cookies!

My cooking tragedies

Making macaroni and cheese and not cooking the noodles all the way. (Home Ec 7th grade) Attempting to make a recipe with half the ingredients. Not realizing til after I started. That's what I get for skimming a recipe! Not reading all the instructions to a recipe until afterwards. I am pretty sure I have burned something, under cooked something, left out something, over spiced something and forgotten something.

Spinach Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms with Avocado

Made this for the family as we are trying to have a meatless meal introduced into our diet. Unfortunately none of my family enjoyed this. There was a definite lack in cohesive flavor. The spinach, tomato etc completely turned out to not be a flavorful combination. The Portobella taste was lost to the funky taste and texture of the filling. Unfortunately will not be trying again. * Also, the avocado did nothing to help the taste. Sorry for the not so great review. Thank you for the recipe.

Fiber One(R) Chocolate-Peanut Butter Haystacks

The family was divided on this. My husband liked the taste but did not like the texture. My daughter on the other hand loved everything about this. She enjoyed the crunchiness with the sweetness of the chocolate and peanut butter. I enjoyed it, but was not too thrilled about the texture. I did enjoy how the cereal gave a new dimension to the sweetest at the end.

Simply White Bread II

I did not have any sugar and wanted some homemade bread. I found this recipe and was worried about the honey, but it did not change the taste of the bread. But I loved this and so did my family. I'll admit I was surprised how good this turned out. This is a definite keeper and I will make if often!
