About this Cook
I'm a mom of three little boys, ages four and under, with baby number four on the way! I love to cook and all my men love to eat, so it's a win-win situation at our house.
My favorite things to cook
I can't think of anything that I DON'T like cooking, really. I'm not much on prepping raw meat, but honestly I'm not even sure the butcher enjoys that job.... maybe, who knows. I've never asked.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Every Friday we make homemade pizza. All my boys, (one year old included!) love to sit on the counter and help add toppings and cheese. We also make a pretty mean playdough recipe. :)
My cooking triumphs
We are a hands-on from-scratch family. We almost never ever eat anything from a box. Everything is made from the ground up here, all the way from bread and tortillas to graham crackers, fruit leather, and pasta. We even make homemade dog food and dog treats for our puppy so nothing goes to waste. With three crazy lil' boys and one on the way, Just maintaining a full pantry is my biggest triumph! Although I've been known on several occasions to run out of snacks. It's quite tragic.
My cooking tragedies
I made a sorry excuse for scalloped potatoes as a new bride. My husband graciously ate most of it anyways. I certainly have little failures or sad experiments here and there, but I seem to mostly do ok!

Corn Tortillas
I don't particularly enjoy making tortillas - in a home where we make nearly everything from scratch, it's just one more cooking chore in the bag. However, good luck finding non-gmo corn tortillas, so I had to go with homemade, otherwise I just wasn't going to use corn tortillas. This was a little bland, I would definitely try salt next time. Made homemade taquitos with them right off the griddle, and every last one cracked, even while they were warm and covered with a towel. My proportions and cook method could've been off, as I'm only used to making flour tortillas at this point. However, for my purposes, I think in the future I'll just use the raw dough, put in my fillings, and pan fry in a little coconut oil instead.

Strawberry Cobbler I
Fantastic! I filled my deep dish 9x13 with fresh picked berries (didn't measure but it was probable close to 8 c. or so), then made up the sauce using 1 c. lemon juice, a scant c. of sugar, and 2 T. arrowroot to thicken and mixed it with the berries right in the baking dish. Topped with my homemade whole wheat sourdough scones dough and baked as directed. With a dollop of home-churned vanilla bean ice cream, this dish made me the Susie Homemaker queen of the day!

Sugar Snap Peas
I was sorry that I found this disappointing, as I had high hopes based on reviews. It simply wasn't anything spectacular and the kids didn't care for them at all, and they like veggies pretty much as well as anybody. Perhaps because I only had dried thyme? Probably won't make again.
