About this Cook
I'm always looking for great recipes to add to my rotation.
My favorite things to cook
Lasagna! (It's so simple) I enjoy coming up w/new creations and in our home there's a running joke of how we're having "Chicken/beef/pork surprise" for dinner, b/c I never really know what to call it.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Every year @ Christmastime, my mom and I bake a ton of cookies. However, last year we abandoned cookies in lieu of chocolate dipped pretzels. YUMMY!
My cooking triumphs
There's not one dish that stands out in my mind, but if I think of one I'll come back to update.
My cooking tragedies
The one I can easily recall is a lemon chicken dish, using lemon curd. Not sure what happened, but we called out for pizza instead.

Too Much Chocolate Cake
I'm not a huge chocolate lover, but this is an awesome recipe. I'm not even really sure how anyone's cake couldn't come out, even with varying the recipe a bit. I used a cake mix that was only 15oz, compared to the 18.25oz called for. I used sugar free pudding mix and didn't use the full 5.9oz that was called for. I used a bit less than 1C of sour cream and my cake STILL came out perfect! I also used the satiny chocolate glaze recipe found on this site, paired w/fresh strawberries. I did use larger choco-chips, but chopped them in my chopper to spread the chocolatey-goodness. This is my new go-to dessert, and I'll be trying this recipe w/ different mixes and pudding combos. Next up: strawberry cake, banana cream pudding and white chocolate chips.
