About this Cook
I am married to a great guy, Thomas, and we have a beautiful little girl. I am already getting her comfortable with the kitchen at the early age of one. :-] I feel like everyone should know how to cook. It's healthier, cheaper, and it gives a sense of satisfaction.
My favorite things to cook
I really like cooking all foods. My husband is rather picky, so I can't be but so adventurous. I am most famous for my cookies, but any type of baking is good.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Chocolate chip pancakes every Saturday and Sunday morning. Not to cook dinnner on Wednesday. We go out for mexican weekly.
My cooking triumphs
I make the best cookies. I pride myself on making new cookie recipes, but chocolate chip is still the most requested by my friends and family.
My cooking tragedies
I am always very eager to get my baked goods out of the oven. I'm upset with myself if a cookie, brownie, or cake is a little dry because I left it in the oven for a couple extra minutes. I blame this in the fact that my pumpkin pie never seems to set up correctly. Next time I promise myself to not take it out before its truly done.

Chocolate Cream Pie II
I wish I could give 4 1/2 stars to this recipe. I followed the directions exactly, but really should've heeded the advice of those that said to increase the corn starch to 4 Tbsp. It was such a soft set. The taste was extraordinary, but chocolate is just a bit too thin. 4 Tbsp next time, and it is a 5 star pie.

Rich Chocolate Frosting
Decadent! 1/2 this recipe was perfect for frosting an 8 inch 2 layer cake.

Dad's Pan-Fried Green Beans
Better than delicious! I am always hesitant to try new recipes because my husband is rather picky. He LOVED them, as did I. He said he felt he should be eating at a Japanese steakhouse. The kids didn't love them as we did, and didn't finish there's...but my husband ate the remnants.
