About this Cook
I have two girls and a wonderful man at home.
My favorite things to cook
I love to make desserts and comfort foods.
My favorite family cooking traditions
We always have pork and sauerkraut with mashed potatoes and corn for New Years and my grandmothers Cheesy Peas on Holidays.
My cooking triumphs
All of my favorite foods growing up are now my responsibility to cook. My mother won't make most of our traditional foods now because I have mastered them, it can be a bit of a pain but I'm proud to have the honor.
My cooking tragedies
I tend to make a lot out of nothing, I experiment frequently and that doesn't always go well, but I can usually save just about any dish.

Self-Filled Cupcakes I
We have used a similar recipe for these in my house for years. My mother came across these when I was a teenager and they soon became my signature dish. The only differences my recipe has are that we only use 1/3 cup sugar and a dah of salt is added to the filling. For the cake mix itself we only fill the muffin cups half full and drop about a 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of filling on the center. Then we bake them I've never found that I needed the extra batter on top the filling sinks to the middle just fine without it. Also I've never iced them before I always thought that would make them too sweet.
