I'll always consider myself a "beginning" level cook! I was never "taught" to cook & I think I'll forever feel in the process of learning. I've cooked out of necessity - which didn't create a love for cooking but I do have a desire to be a better cook. When I apply myself I get good results. I also have a desire that someday my son, when grown, will say "Mom's (such & such dish) is the best." To my surprise, he tells me now that several things I make are better than some pre-packaged version! So I imagine someday a young wife will hear the dreaded words "my mom's is better." ;-) I'll share with her, I promise!
So, here am I at allrecipes!

Cherry Snowballs
These were easy and cute but not very tasty. The shortbread dough needs improvement - the oatmeal is a No, boost flavoring also either butter flavor or almond or vanilla extract, it also needs a tad more sugar... in other words the shortbread should be able to stand alone. The cherry center, no matter how well-drained, will come out with the first bite leaving no cherry for the other half of the cookie. It might be an improvement to chop the cherries and add to the shortbread dough. The snowball idea with the coconut is cute but I really think a flat cookie painted with a little of the icing and sprinkled with coconut would suffice particularly if the shortbread carried it's weight. I might try again with changes but not as it was written.

Zesty Beef Roast
Delicious! The aroma filled the air & tantalized even my neighbors taste buds. They asked me "what are you making, it's smells so good!" I made my beef broth from beef base. It made the most wonderfully rich gravy. This is a keeper!

Marie's Easy Slow Cooker Pot Roast
When it comes to easy.slow cooker.pot roast this is pretty much perfection! As far as method/steps go I do hold off a few hours before putting in the veggies. A keeper!
