About this Cook

I am a happily married mom of 2 great kids. I love cooking and baking, although my family of picky eaters makes it a challenge sometimes!

My favorite things to cook

Baking is my passion! I am currently obsessed with cupcakes, but any baking will do.

My favorite family cooking traditions

My cooking adventures started at a young age with lessons from my Nana at her farm in Durango. Now, I hope to pass on some of my love of cooking to my kids. My favorite tradition is baking birthday cakes for my loved ones and all the ooh's and aah's that follow. :)

Pina Colada Punch

Ooh la la, oh so good! This punch is so good! I followed the recipe as written and was very happy. I did use the crushed pineapple, but processed the heck out of it with my food processor after reading other reviews not being happy with the "chunks". It worked great while still adding a little bit of texture to the punch. This does make a ton, so be prepared with a big bowl or pitcher. Also, mine did not freeze to slushy consistency in 4 hours, it took much longer.

Island Kielbasa in a Slow Cooker

Good recipe, but needs modifications to make it 5 star. I used 1 cup ketchup and 1 cup chili sauce. I reduced the brown sugar to 3/4 cup and that was plenty sweet. I also added a chopped onion and green bell pepper. I served over rice and it was very good. It does make a lot of sauce. Next time, I may add corn starch to thicken as others have suggested.

Rolled Fondant

This is the first time I worked with fondant. I did substitute corn syrup for the glucose syrup. I think it came out OK, I was not crazy about the flavor, but then, does fondant ever taste good? It's mostly just to have a nicely decorated cake.
