Hubby and I in Bavaria
About this Cook
My Husband and I are both in the Air Force, currently serving in Germany. I am learning as much as I can about cooking while it's just the two of us in hopes that by the time we have a family I will be at least semi-pro at whipping things up.
My favorite things to cook
I love baking new desserts and finding great recipes that go well with entertaining friends.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Hmm we don't really have any cooking traditions... I am well on my way to making some of our own though :)
My cooking triumphs
Every time I'm able to make a new recipe turn out tasting great. I'm always apprehensive about messing with new techniques or ingredients I've never used before...
My cooking tragedies
I made an amazing Pork Tenderloin roast from this site, and every single time afterwards it has turned out horrible! I don't know why I can't recreate it :(

Mint Chocolate Cake
I was displeased with this recipe, I followed instructions to a T, and the mint icing had pieces of confectioner's sugar that were unwilling to blend, and it was hard to get the chocolate melted and on the cake quick enough... the taste was OK but I was very disappointed.

Old-Fashioned Potato Pancakes
These were very good!! I added a good handful of shredded cheese, and they stuck together very well. I am not very adept at getting all the water out, but the taste was wonderful and these were easy to cook.

Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings
I followed a few of the other reviews and it turned out great. Instead of water I used chicken broth, and I put the dough in the slow cooker about an hour and a half prior to serving. I really think it helped the overall flavor and questioning of whether or not the dough is 'done' enough. Full points for quick prep time though, this can be prepared the night before and in the fridge! I cooked mine on low for about 8 1/2 hours then switched to high for another 3 hours before serving. Chicken was moist and incredibly tender. This is going into my rotations!
