About this Cook
My husband is a chef and I make pathetic attempts at cooking. I'm a much better baker, but, I'd really like to learn how to cook much better than I do now.
My favorite things to cook
Comfort foods, yum. I love to bake cookies, brownies, cupcakes, cake, you name it I'll bake it!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Mainly just eating the wonderful Italian food my grandmother cooked as a child.
My cooking triumphs
Baking seems to be my strong point, however my true triumphs are cooking dishes my husband likes since he's the chef and all! (and yes by the way he tells me the truth if he doesn't like something haha). I also seem to make a pretty mean breakfast.
My cooking tragedies
I burn popcorn a lot. Hahahaha. Oh and once I made boiling water on the stove explode. Yes...explode. Don't ask.

Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies
Very moist and soft-followed the directions to a T except I had to substitute half a cup of butter for margarine. I only had one stick of butter and then I used half cup of margarine to make up for the lack...still these cookies came out very good.

Chewy Oatmeal Cookies I
I've been looking for a really dense, chewy oatmeal cookie recipe and haven't quite found one yet, however this one is still pretty good. I think I may have overcooked the first batch by a couple of minutes-they were not burnt by any means but came out very light and fluffy rather than chewy. The second batch I made sure to watch the cooking time..I'd say 8 min max, and I had a bit of a denser cookie which I liked. The taste is great and I did enjoy this recipe.
