About this Cook
Mother of 2, I am employed full time as a bank manager. I love music, especially celtic music. I have a passion for all things SCOTTISH, and love to read.
My favorite things to cook
I'm just learning... I'd much rather eat than cook. I like to bake much more than cook. I am being adventurous lately though and trying new recipes. This website has been a big help.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Making comfort food, such as beef stew, biscuits and apple pie for dessert on a crispy fall evening.
My cooking triumphs
My lasagna is pretty good... haven't had a real triumph yet!

One Bowl Brownies
I followed this recipe to the letter -- I did use two 8 x 8 pans because I was using my 9 x 13 for shephard's pie --- They were very rich, chocolaty and satisfying. Sometimes when I make "box" brownies, I want to eat the whole pan -- I had two small brownies of this recipe and was done. Delicious!

Snickerdoodles V
I wish I had followed some of the reviewers tips by using butter instead of shortening. They also needed more flavor -- maybe the vanilla would have helped, but I think the butter might do the trick. Nice texture though - very pretty snickerdoodles.

Oat Bran Muffins
Very good and very easy. I added LOTS of cinnamon because I LOVE cinnamon, about a cup of raisins, and about 1/2 cup of molasses. My 2 picked teens ate one each for an after dinner snack.
