About this Cook
I'm half Yankee, half Hillbilly, so my tastes run for all the fattening comfort foods like biscuits and gravy, chowders, pies and the like. Just about everything tastes great fried in bacon grease!
My favorite things to cook
Pot roast, beef & gravy over rice, nachos, cake and biscuits. Some times I don't like to cook or bake, but when I long for something particular, nothing else but my own will satisfy my longing.
My favorite family cooking traditions
It just doesn't seem like Christmas without some pies, cookies and other sweet treats like peanut brittle, caramel corn and fudge.
My cooking triumphs
I think anything that tastes good is a triumph.
My cooking tragedies
A fudge cake that turned out horrible because the sugar I used was from sugar beets, not sugar from sugar canes, so the whole thing stayed liquidy and inedible! Now, it would be called molten lava cake! LOL

NILLA Tiramisu Cookie Balls
I give them a 4 star rating as they are, but a 5 star if you up the Cafe Vienna. Otherwise, they just don't pack the punch of tiramisu. These taste better if you add an extra tablespoon of Cafe Vienna to the 'dough' and another extra tablespoon of Cafe Vienna to the chocolate. I didn't feel like drizzling the chocolate over the white chocolate, so I just mixed the two chocolates in together.

Regina (Queen's Biscuit)
I've got the last batch in the oven right now. My hubby and I love them! Next time I make them, (and I will!) I will add more of the lemon extract and perhaps use cream instead of milk just to amp up the flavor a little bit more. They don't expand very much at all, so you can put quite a few on the cookie sheet.

Chuck's Favorite Mac and Cheese
Sometimes I add a touch of garlic powder (about 1/4 tsp)or some mustard for a change. I also use Panko breadcrumbs on top and then spray it with butter flavored Crisco spray. It's easier and we love the extra crunchy top! It's just so good!
