About me: I live in Colorado and cook for my family; my husband, my 20-year-old daughter (who is in college), and my 18-year-old son (a VERY picky eater). I love cookbooks and have quite a collection but am always looking to add more. I have been known to take a cookbook to bed and read it before falling asleep. Lately, I have found myself getting a lot of recipes off the internet and not using my cookbooks much. I would like to change this. I am anxious for this site to take off (and it will) and for the volume of recipe reviews to grow. It is such a great idea!

Skillet Blueberry Cobbler from Weber's Real Grilling

Excellent. We did overcook it slightly on the grill but we just need to get better at grill baking! Served it to a group of 5 and everyone loved it. read more >

Toasted Spice Rub : page 16

I have always used this with the Vertical Roasted Chicken Cocorico but it would be good in many dishes. I love making this - as the spices are toasted the entire house smells delicious. One recipe of this makes 1 cup you only need about 3 - 4 tablespoons per chicken. So you will have leftovers to make more chicken!

Vertical Roasted Chicken Cocorico : page 116

We do have the NapaStyle Cocorico roaster that we use to make this chicken. I am not one for many kitchen gadgets - but this is more than a gadget and worth the amount of space it takes in my cabinets. This chicken comes out wonderful with beautifully seasoned vegetables and potatoes. We have always used the Toasted Spice Rub instead of the Citrus Salt with our chicken - the house smells wonderfully while it is baking.
