About this Cook

I am an educator who loves to cook. I get recipes from Allrecipes all the time, and sometimes I bake so much my husband actually gets tired of me baking. I WILL own a bakery one day, lol. Email me at brittanyluvs2bake@gmail.com

My favorite things to cook

I loooove to bake. And being from Texas, I loooove Tex-Mex food. I love cooking tacos, enchiladas, homemade refried beans, salsa, nachos. I also love to bake like every other day, which is much too much.

My favorite family cooking traditions

Family Thanksgiving dinner. I have not even attempted turkey yet, but I do believe I will soon.

My cooking triumphs

The first time I made homemade refried beans (used bacon grease, too lol). Yummy! They tasted pretty authentic. Also, whenever my husband says "mmmm' while he's eating something I cooked, I call that a triumph.

Magic Cookie Bars II

These are the bomb! I think adding some milk chocolate on top is a MUST! It makes it so decadent. I toasted my coconut a bit before adding it because I'm not a fan of chewy coconut. I also omitted the walnuts because of personal choice, and I didn't have any butterscotch chips, but they were still so good.

Maria's Stuffed Chicken Breasts

I'm giving this 5 stars because my husband enjoyed it. I think chicken breast is dry in general, but he said this was juicy and tender. For me personally, I would give it 4 stars because chicken breast is not my favorite. I think I would like this dish better with chicken thighs. Anyway, the filling was yummy. I saved money and made it with cottage cheese. I put cottage cheese, spinach, egg, parmesan, salt, and pepper in a food processor and processed it. It was yummy. I also added a bit of mozzarella cheese. I simmered the sauce with some spices, and I cooked the chicken covered in foil without the mozzarella and then the last 10 or so minutes of baking I removed the foil, added the cheese, and baked.

Burger or Hot Dog Buns

We loved these. I made the dough in the bread machine and used a little less than half wheat flour and the rest all-purpose flour. These will be my go-to rolls for hamburgers and hot dogs for now anyway. Edit to add: For anyone who ends up with dense or flat rolls, my advice would be after you make the dough, let it rise for an hour or until about double. Then punch it down, shape into buns and let rise again for about 35 minutes. This is what I did, and my rolls were perfect.
