About Katie<\/strong>
\nKatie is a wife, mother of two boys, and a high school English and accounting teacher. She loves to cook, and find new ways to share her love of food with family. She thoroughly enjoys teaching and loves to be with her students. Katie says, \u201cI think they keep me young. I write part time for a local newspaper in the area\u201d.<\/p>\n

She is busy these days with scouts and sports; they just finished with basketball, but are still involved in karate and scouting. Keeping up with the boys is a full time job in itself. <\/p>\n

When Katie and her family plan vacations, they always look for restaurants that really have show off the cuisine of their region. For them, the restaurants they go to are as important as the sights they see on their trips.<\/p>\n

The Recipe<\/strong>
\n I have been invited to do a guest post on Cajun Chef Ryan\u2019s blog. For my guest post, I was going to cook an old family dish called \u201cPage 47.\u201d\u00a0 I know, it sounds strange, but that is what my grandma used to call this simple pasta dish that I would look forward to each time she made it.\u00a0 You see it was on page 47 of some cookbook, but Lord only knows what cookbook, or what the actual name of the dish was.\u00a0 To us, it was just Page 47.<\/p>\n

Instead, I ended up cooking with my son \u2013 he is 7 years old and loves to be in the kitchen.\u00a0 He started making suggestions about what to put with the ground beef I was cooking, so we ended up eating what he now refers to as Page 92\u2026.just a number he chose.<\/p>\n

He had so much fun cooking \u2013 he was even talking about it this morning still.\u00a0 He has always been interested in food; I think ingredient was one of his first large words.\u00a0 Almost every day, unless he is playing a really cool video game, or isn\u2019t home, he watches me cook dinner.\u00a0 He also has to critique every meal, which totally cracks me up<\/p>\n
