About me:
I'm a stay at home mother to two beautiful girls ages 4 and 2. Before having my children, I was an elementary school teacher. My mother didn't cook at all when I was a kid. She just wasn't interested, so I grew up on frozen and packaged foods. I didn't even attempt to cook until my senior year of college. I was forced to try because I moved to a townhouse with a kitchen and I was off the cafeteria meal plan. At that time, even pasta and jarred sauce was a big challenge for me! According to my husband, I've come a long way (and he's tasted all my progress through the years), but I know that I still have a lot to learn. It's very important to me that my girls learn to cook at a very early age so that they don't find themselves in the same situation that I was. I love finding new recipes on this website that the girls and I can make together. Even my 2 year old gets in on the act. We make a big mess, but most of what we make is at least edible, and we have a lot of fun!

Chicken Dijon

Reviewed on Mar. 4, 2007 by CTCOOK1
My family really enjoyed this recipe. I cut my chicken into chunks and sauteed it with some mccormick chicken seasoning added to it. Once it was done, I removed it from the pan and left it on a covered, heated plate while I made the sauce. I doubled the sauce ingredients to serve this over pasta. I added the chicken back in at the end just to make sure it was still warm enough, but I skipped the baking part. I also added broccoli flowerets into this by tossing them into the pasta water for the last few minutes of cooking time. That added some nice color and additional flavor to the dish. My husband, six year old and four year old all cleaned their plates and they all had seconds too, so I will definitely make this again!

Baby Back Ribs

Reviewed on Feb. 25, 2007 by FLORAB
These are wonderful. I made them before and now that I'm making them a second time I had to write. This method is so easy and it comes out just like everyone says, tender and juicy. Use the sauce of your choice, marinate or not, you can't mess this up.

Sloppy Joes II

Reviewed on Feb. 3, 2007 by CTCOOK1
It feels a little strange to give a sloppy joe recipe 5 stars, as they just don't strike me as 5 star food in most cases, but for sloppy joes, these were very good! My husband and 6 year old practically inhaled them. They weren't as well received by my four year old, but nothing with meat ever is. I used ground turkey instead of beef (on sale for $1.99 per pound!). I used 1/2 cup kethup and 1/4 cup of spicy BBQ sauce. I added a shredded carrot and a little more green pepper than called for since I'm always trying to sneak in some extra vegetables. I served these with french fries and veggies with dip and it was a quick, easy, inexpensive meal.
