About this Cook
Daughter of an Army Cook! My Dad really knew how to cook, despite what some Army men might say about the cooks. My Mom was a good cook too, and everyone in my family is at home in the kitchen.
My favorite things to cook
Desserts! What else is there?
My favorite family cooking traditions
Thanksgiving, Easter and Christmas (my Mom's birthday) were the best times for food and family get-togethers.
My cooking triumphs
Pierogies and Eclairs!
My cooking tragedies
Well, if you cook, you have tragedies! The worst was Chili that I added baking soda to. I read on the Internet that that would cut down on {gas} and I thought that would be cool, but it was absolutely awful and couldn't be saved - I ran to the grocery store twice for more ingredients, trying to salvage it, but to no avail. Don't ever try that!!

Spelt Flour Bread Machine Challah
I made this bread today for my nephew (a Celiac), for Thanksgiving stuffing especially for him. I've gotta say this gluten-free bread is excellent! Soft, moist, flavorful - it takes like the best whole wheat bread I've ever had - you cannot tell it's made different. My braided loaf only took about 20 minutes to bake on 375, so keep an eye on it. Thanks for a great recipe - my nephew will be thrilled - gluten-free bread that doesn't taste and feel like you're eating cardboard!! YAY! Got any other GF bread recipes, Loribarry?

Fluffy Biscuits
These were good! I used 1 t. salt, 1/4 c. shortening, 1/4 c. COLD butter diced in small cubes. The dough is sticky - resist the urge to handle it roughly or too much. (Flour your board and have some extra flour on hand.) Lightly kneaded about 20 times, rolled to 3/4" thick and then cut with a floured water glass into 4 rounds, gathered the remaining dough together and shaped into a rounds. (I didn't re-roll.) The last two didn't look the same, but they tasted the same! They rose to about 2 inches after baking 8 minutes - golden on top and bottom. I posted a pic.
