About this Cook
Wendy, 22 years young! Moved to Northern California after High School and am loving it here! I live with my love and our bull terrier puppy SADIE, the sweetest puppy ever :)
My favorite things to cook
I actually prefer baking and am way better at it, but don't get me wrong, I can definately cook good food still!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My dad is Filipino, so we use to have (before my parents divorced) our festivals with the whole roasted pig and 1000 other side dishes (I love my filipino family/heritage) but since moving to the USA my dad use to love cooking "Dinuguan" and invite all our family over, that's my favorite memory/tradition as a child with my fam.

English Muffins
I didn't successfully get the nooks and crannys; but I have not given up! It tastes kind of like a bagel... but better. I used my flat cast iron plate (the ones that take up 2 stove burners), but next time I think I'll try it in just my reg. cast iron skillet. Making 8 at a time (in attempts to save some time) turned out to be too much work.

Cake Mix Cinnamon Rolls
I halved this recipe since it's just my hubby and I, the recipe sounded like it would yield too many rolls. I used 3/4 of a yellow cake mix, and used the same amount of flour as the recipe (halved) calls for (2 1/4 cups). Yes, it was sticky, yes it looked like a hot mess - but I decided to use the exact amount of flour IN the dough that way I could HEAVILY flour my parchment lined board and the dough to roll it. This batter-like dough rolls out GREAT using this method, while also avoiding diluting the taste of the final product. & the parchment paper makes it SO easy to roll it (just like you would a jelly roll!!) Came out mmm-mmmm fab-u-lous!

Basic Pasta
Even though my fettuccine didn't turn out as I wanted, I'm still giving this recipe five stars. The taste was fantastic! And my only problem was that I rolled it out by hand and couldn't achieve thin enough sheets to make the perfect noodle. They were thicker (even rolling out EACH cut strip again). BUT I enjoyed making the dough and eating the thick fettuccine SO much, that I ordered a pasta machine from Amazon 10 min after eating :)
