About this Cook
I am the proud mother of 4, 3 boys & 1 girl. All married. I have 5 beautiful grandchildren, 2 girls & 3 boys, and another due in May 2010. They are the sunshine in my life. They give me a reason to wake up each day.
My favorite things to cook
Desserts
My favorite family cooking traditions
St. Patrick's Day, Corned Beef & Cabbage, Irish Mashed Potatoes, Irish Soda Bread & Green cupcakes. Christmas, my DD & I start making cookies right after Thanksgiving. We make about 12 different kinds. Christmas dinner is Filet Mignon, Baked Potatoes, Broccoli Casserole, Carrots, dinner rolls & of course dessert. Thanksgiving, Turkey, gravy, corn stuffing, mashed potatoes,broccoli casserole(people say they won't come unless we make broccoli casserole)dinner rolls, apple pie, pumpkin pie, and chocolate pie.
My cooking triumphs
Making my Mom's potato salad to taste like hers use to. And making cornbread stuffing for Thanksgiving like my sister use to make before she moved back to TX
My cooking tragedies
Making the Earthquake Cake (should be named volcano cake). It went all over the oven, the house was filled with stinky smoke, the fire alarm went off but in the end the cake was delicious. Next time I will put the filling in the middle. Live and Learn

Impossible French Apple Pie
This recipe saved me. Went to make a pie and had no pie crusts in the freezer. Followed the directions exactly and used crushed pecans for the topping. Served it to company and they really enjoyed it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.

Cream Cheese Frosting II
I halved this recipe which made more than enough for a 13x9 cake. I used 8oz Neufchatel cheese, 1 1/2 cups confec. sugar, 1/4c butter, 1 1/2 tsps vanilla extract. I think next time I will add a little almond extract as suggested by another reviewer to give it more flavor. Went great on the Pumpkin Cake III
