About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
I typically enjoy baking more than cooking. I think this is because of my propensity towards high fat, high sugar foods that will make me fat. Can I get an Amen?
My favorite family cooking traditions
Tamales, although I still have trouble folding them just right.
My cooking triumphs
Anytime one of my children say something like, "Mom this is refreshing and delicious!" I remember why I feed them.
My cooking tragedies
My first wedding cake I baked about six layers before I got it right. Then there was the time I substituted all the ingredients in a pork loin recipe except for the pork loin. It even looked scary.

Alaska Salmon Bake with Pecan Crunch Coating
Definitely worth making. I only have a couple of suggestions that stay true to the original recipes. 1. Use course ground dijon, as it has more texture and depth of flavor. 2. Use Panko instead of bread crumbs. This also gives a coarser texture and is nice contrast to the softness of the salmon. 3. Enjoy! This is delicious.

Butter Tart Muffins
This review is for all you high-altitude bakers. These muffins are good. By cooking the raisins they absorb the liquid and work well with the texture. I used cake flour in this recipe as it often seems to work better in high altitude. However, I must note that you will absolutely need to lower the oven temp to 350 to get a nice rise.

Blackberry Cobbler II
My family and I loved this recipe! We first tried it with fresh blackberries and it turned out splendidly. Just a note. It is most definitely better if you double the topping as others have said. I added 1/4 tsp. Allspice and 2 tsp. Vanilla which it needed for the warm homecooked flavor you want. Also, don't skip the cast iron skillet. It adds so much to the presentation. When I made this again it was with peaches and my husbands co-worker said it was the best he had ever had. Thanks!
