About this Cook
I am trying to learn how to cook. I think I could be good at it if I actually try. But like most people, I am busy, and it's easy to throw something in the microwave or stop at a fast food restaurant. It's also hard to cook for just me, and on a poor college student budget.
My favorite things to cook
Cookies, cupcakes... mmmm. Those are the things people love and I like to make people happy!!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Baking cookies before holidays
My cooking tragedies
When I was making sugar cookies and used the salt shaker instead of the sugar shaker on top of the cookies....oops

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies
YUMMM. These are so good. The only thing I did different from the recipe was that I used butter instead of margarine (personal preference). Also, I added about a cup and a half of chocolate chips. These disappeared QUICK.

My Amish Friend's Caramel Corn
I made this using 1.25 cups of un-popped corn, and the suggested modifications of using butter and baking it at 200 degrees for 45min. I also used the paper bag trick. Worked out perfectly for me, and I am no cook. The first time I made it, everyone loved it and it was gone FAST. I just made it again for tonights pre-Halloween party. Equally as good this time. I'm sure everyone at the party will love it! I just hope I don't eat it all before then. LOL.

Fresh Tomato Salsa
This was the first salsa I ever made. It was really good and relatively easy. I made it exactly as described except I only used 3 serrano chilies. It had the perfect amount of spice for me. And I did seed the tomatoes. It was very good and I would recommend it to cooking novices like me.
