About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
I mostly like to cook traditional, old fashioned baked goods and as far as actual meals go, I make up something with what I have. Sometimes it's good...sometimes it's bad.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Steamed artichokes, zucchini, chocolate chip cookies, and, of course, making buckeyes with my dad at Christmas time.
My cooking triumphs
The best thing I ever made was from a book given to me by my grandmother. It was honey cake. Oh wow.
My cooking tragedies
Oranges and chicken thighs don't mix. At least, not how i did it.

Polvorones de Canele (Cinnamon Cookies)
These cookies came out great! I made them for a "Western" party at work, and they garnered many compliments, including "If Danielle makes cookies, you KNOW they'll be awesome! She's the cookie lady." I referred people to this recipe. These cookies came out so fluffy, yet moist, they just melted in your mouth. And the slightly hardened sugar coating added to the contrast of the wonderful light cookie below. Now, I have a really wacky oven...it's about 40 years old and needs replaced. :) so i had to set my oven to 250 degrees, otherwise the sugar burned and the cookie was undercooked (i only mention it because who knows how many other wacky ovens are out there!) It was also very humid the day I made them, and super hot, so the dough came out too gooey to be rolled in balls. I added extra powdered sugar and flour (just a little) to compensate for this, and put the dough in the fridge for an hour. I will DEFINITELY be making these again! :) Thanks!

Thai Chicken Satay
My boyfriend makes this twice a month, at least. It's wonderful! I like it so much that I asked him to make it for my office, where it quickly disappeared. The only difference between how he makes it and how the recipe is written is that he doesn't use the skewer (which helped it keep pretty well in the buffet setting on our slow cooker when I took it to work). Sometimes we add chopped up sweet peppers, too. That adds a nice relief from the heat.

Best Brownies
This is a great, easy to make recipe that always impresses. It has become my family's most requested.
