About this Cook
Recently moved away from home and out on my own, and when I did realized I had to start cooking everyday, instead of just when I felt like it! Began cooking with my mom as early as I can remember....but didn't start making things on my own, such as cookies or brownies, until I was 7 and its be downhill since then!
My favorite things to cook
Cheesecakes always seem to interest me, I'm still trying to perfect them. I also love making Lasagna and other pasta dishes.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Every weekend, despite what time we get up at, me and my boyfriend cook a big breakfast.
My cooking triumphs
Once my dad told me that I had made the best lasagna he had ever tasted, out ranking my mom and grandma on that was amazing!
My cooking tragedies
Too many to list! When I was about 8 I misread tsp of salt...and added a tbsp of salt, not the best brownies I've made. My first experience with breads I added the wrong kind of yeast and wondered why when I pulled my cinnamon buns out of the oven they looked the same as they were going in..

Ooey-Gooey Cinnamon Buns
Awesome! I'm very picky with sticky buns...and these we near perfect. Next time I will add an addition 1/2 cup - 1 cup of sugar to the dough and use a bit more cinnamon in the filling!

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie
I was searching for a good chocolate chunk cookie recipe when I found this. I substituted 2 cups of chopped bittersweet bakers chocolate for the chocolate chips and they turned out fantastic. I was also just making these to pack for lunches...so i wanted smaller cookies...not giant ones. So I figured if i size the dough on the cookie sheets to what i normally do, they will turn out the normal size. I was wrong....these cookies spread alot and were quite big...And I ended up baking them for about 17-18minutes. But still a delicious recipe!

This is my second time making these. The first time I followed the recipe identically, and they were AMAZING! The dough is amazing to work with, I was done with rolling them within a half hour. Second time around I followed some other reviews about the baking of them, the dough was perfect and I didn't alter a thing. I boiled them in shallow baking soda water for about a little less then a minute. Then I baked them from 10 minutes at 400. They came out amazing! This is a perfect recipe!
