Raggedy Me
About this Cook
45 this year, YAY!!! I like getting older & learning new things. Moved to PA 3 yrs ago to live w/my Grandparents so they could stay @ home & so I could quit my bank job & become a Bodywork Therapist & Esthetician (which I am!). I'm a two-time survivor (leukemia & breast) & enjoy all of the bitter & sweet life has to offer.
My favorite things to cook
I like to take on new challenges in cooking, but I enjoy cooking fish & meats. I really enjoy the convenience of slow-cooking and I like to add the little touches and flourishes that seem gourmet but actually cut down on prep times.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I've learned to cook my mother's dutch oven fried chicken which I found out was an Amish recipe once I moved to PA. I wasn't patient enough to learn from her when she wanted to teach me, so now I'm having fun making my own traditions (salmon @ Christmas!!!)
My cooking triumphs
Learning to cook without post-it notes on every pot & pan & hostessing my grandfathers' 77th HS Class Reunion (Lemoyne HS Class of '31) at our home. There are 6 of them left. It was very nice.
My cooking tragedies
Cooking doesn't include tragedies unless I've accidently poisoned someone. (Which I haven't yet, thank heavens!)

Apple Banana Cupcakes
Used 1 tbsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp clove & 1% milk instead & still yummy & moist. Frosted w/Brown Sugar Frosting (where I used molasses instead of corn syrup) Very easy. I used 25 min cook time on smallish muffins which was perfect.

Brown Sugar Frosting
Nice & simple as I like it...used molasses instead of corn syrup (didn't have), still good, richer flavor
