About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
Anything for breakfast. Love to make breakfast on the weekends. Will make quiche, pancakes, muffins, and recently learned to make crepes.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Growing up everything pretty much came out of a box or can.
My cooking triumphs
Learning to make pie crust from scratch and learning how to make homemade sourdough bread.
My cooking tragedies
Key lime pie. Recipe called for graham cracker crust. Key lime filling never set up and was extremly runny. The graham cracker crust soaked it up like a sponge, making it a big mushy mess.

Pumpkin Cake I
Followed the recipe exact. Greased the pan extremely well. Cooked cake exactly 1 hr until toothpick came out clean. Waited exactly 5 minutes and turned out on plate per instructions. And ended up with a big mess as the cake stuck in the pan terribly. Tastes OK, but is a shredded mess. Gonna have to figure out how to serve as trifle instead... ugh!

Triple the Ginger Cookies
Had some extra ginger around the house to use up, and these cookies were the perfect use. Loved the great ginger flavor! The only thing I'd change is to bake a little longer than directed (or maybe my oven is just off), because mine were a little underdone. I didn't care though. I could eat this dough raw... it's so good!

Apple Pie by Grandma Ople
Pretty good, but not the best apple pie I've ever made. Made with a mix of Granny Smith and Gala apples. Next time think I'll use all Galas. The Galas cooked perfectly, but the Granny's still seemed a little underdone when cooked per the directions. Also, the sauce was pretty soupy at the bottom of the pie. Might try cooking the sauce for longer on the stove next time or adding some cornstarch to help thicken more.
