About this Cook
When I am in the mood to cook, I really enjoy it and some say I am good at it and I am not afraid to try new things. I love to bake and people love to eat what I bake!
My favorite things to cook
Brownies, cookie bars, pies...pretty much anything with sugar in it. As far as real food goes, pot roast, chicken, pizza and soup are my go to meals.
My cooking triumphs
Donuts...I never thought I could make donuts that tasted as good as store bought, but I finally tried and mine were BETTER!
My cooking tragedies
Once I made a cake and forgot the flour. And my first attempt at my grandma's cheese soup was a disaster! Other than that the occasional burnt meal and the fact I can't make no-bake cookies to save my life I do pretty well in the kitchen.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Nut Muffins
Very moist. I did not change the recipe except I used dark cocoa instead of regular (I'm a huge fan of dark chocolate) and left out the nuts (I'm not a fan of nuts at all). I made 12 regular size muffins and still had tons left so I had to make a pan of mini muffins as well. Very yummy. I gave it only 4 stars because they stuck to my non-stick pan which I even sprayed with Pam. All the chocolate chips sunk to the bottom of the muffins and that is why they stuck. Definitely use muffin papers if you make these.

Beer Biscuits
I was very disappointed with this recipe's taste and consistency. My boyfriend would have beer with or in every meal if possible, he LOVES the flavor of beer. Personally I don't but I thought I would give this a try for him. The taste was so bad that he only ate one and I only ate half of one and we threw the rest away. (biscuits are his favorite breakfast food and he usually eats 3 or more) The texture was interesting, a bit more chewy and dense than the biscuits I usually make. In the end I gave them 3 stars because they were easy to make (I didn't even roll them out just patted the dough in my hand to the right size). My boyfriends verdict was not to mess with a good thing so from now on I will make my old recipe.

Emily's Famous Hash Browns
This recipe was good, a LOT better than any other hashbrowns I have ever tried. The only reason I gave it only 4 stars is because mine got a little burnt on the outside, didn't stick together very well and were hard to flip... most likely since this was my first attempt it was user error because the taste was good. I did add ground red pepper to the flour before mixing in with the potatoes because my boyfriend likes things to be spicy. He LOVED them even though he's not big on hash browns.
