About this Cook
I am a stay at home mom of 3 kids and 4 pugs. I have a great husband and I love hanging out with my family. I worked in an Amish bakery and restaurant for 10 years before getting married, and have a great passion for cooking and baking delicious things!
My favorite things to cook
Oh my, I love so many things! My favorite main dish (right now!) is Chicken Giardino. My favorite dessert to make is Black Tie Mousse Cake!
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love cooking with my kids. We make at least 12 different types of Christmas cookies every year, then invite all of our family and friends over on Christmas Eve for a cookie party!
My cooking triumphs
I am a, "from scratch" girl. I want to do things the old fashioned way.
My cooking tragedies
In an apartment my husband and I lived in together before we got married, we had a very old oven. It hadn't been calibrated in quite a while. I managed to burn everything I put into it for two whole weeks before I finally figured the thing out!

Picnic Potato Salad with No Mayonnaise
We are not fans of mayo in our house, so I was very pleased to find this recipe. I used tiny fingerling potatoes, white balsamic, halved the amount of Dijon mustard, and completely omitted the blue cheese, as we also don't eat cheese in our house. I served this at our Memorial Day picnic and everyone really enjoyed it. I will definitely make this again. Love it.

Nacho Tacos
These tacos were too cheesy for my personal tastes. I made as directed, however next I will definitely cut down on the amount of the cheese soup. I found it to be overpowering.
