Sherrie Crane

Sherrie Crane, 63, of Barnhart won the salad category with her recipe for Half Moon Bay Slaw.

“In February 1986, my mom gave me this ‘Salads of All Kinds’ recipe book with a loving note written inside,” she said. “Above this recipe, she wrote, ‘Make for Thanksgiving,’ and we enjoyed this slaw for several years.”

She still makes the dish for family, along with other salads in the summer and various soup favorites during the colder months.

“I do a cottage cheese salad, taco salad, sometimes fruit salads,” she said. “I don’t use lettuce so much; I mostly use spinach. If you add peppers, carrots, maybe some salmon or baked chicken, it can be a whole meal by itself.”

She said she enjoys spending time in the kitchen with her husband, Anthony.

“I do most of the cooking but the last few years he has been dabbling,” she said with a laugh.

Crane said she learned to cook from her parents.

“My mom and dad were both really good cooks,” she said.

She said she may use her $50 category prize money to buy ingredients for more recipes.

“Well, it’s getting into baking season,” she said.
