About this Cook
Transplanted from Wisconsin to Kansas for an amazing job, but I travel all over the country for work. When I'm home I like to bake tasty treats to take into the office and health dinners to balance out my road trip diet.
My favorite things to cook
Baking cookies and bars are my favorite. Any dessert or breakfast pastry really. I also like to try quick and healthy seafood, chicken and pasta dishes.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom has taught me that presentation is just as important as taste. So I have plenty of cute baskets, platters and napkins around.
My cooking triumphs
When I made popovers! I love popovers, but they still don't turn out 100% of the time.
My cooking tragedies
When I tried making petit fours for Valentine's Day. Ugh. Next time I'll try to stick to one cake, filling and frosting flavor.

Sopapilla Cheesecake Pie
Wow! So easy, so delicious! Instead of mixing the butter with sugar and cinnamon, I melted it and brushed the top before sprinkling cinnamon/sugar mixture. I didn't even use all the cinnamon/sugar mixture. The crescent roll dough wasn't as easy to work with as I thought it was going to be, but it didn't matter, since you'd never notice once it bakes up. I do like essayjay's idea of rolling it out on wax paper to lay the top portion down over the cream cheese, will try next time.

Cinnamon Krisp
Okay, the nine cups of cereal to one package of marshmallows seemed really off to me, since I usually do about six cups to one bag of marshmallows. Plus, how on earth does that fit in an 8x8 pan?! Please tell me if I'm missing something. Are they intended to be super super crunchy? Anyway I made these with six cups of cereal for a 9x13 pan and they tasted really good. How could I not have thought to add cinnamon and raisins to rice krispie treats before? It's like an awesome, thick granola bar!

Rich Chocolate Frosting
Good texture, but not chocolately enough for me. I halfed the recipe for two dozen cupcakes. Maybe halving it threw the ratios off, but I still used more cocoa than was required.
