About this Cook
I'm currently a full time college history major and I work full time, so I really don't have that much time to cook. But when I have the time, I love to do it.
My favorite things to cook
Anything sweet, I'm a meat n tatters girl, but I love to especially make chicken dinners. I love chikin.
My cooking triumphs
Baking pumpkin cookies for my Dad and they were perfect! The first time I made Mac n Cheese at five years old, and ramen noodles at six.
My cooking tragedies
Oooh, have you ever burned water? I have, I'm still ashamed to talk about it.

Chocolate Pretzel Rings
MMM, chocolate covered pretzels are one of my favorite treats but they are so annoying to make. These are a great alternative and were very easy. I could really only find the mini twists which was okay because in the end you're going to eat them anyways right? The Hugs ones turned out the worst looking because the chocolate middle melted at a slower rate than the white chocolate wo they weren't as pretty as the ones I used just using regular Kisses.

Quick Sunshine Cake
I've made this twice now, both times the people that tried it said they liked it but it didn't disappear. The first time I thought it was way sweet but good. To cut back on the overpowering sweetness the second time I substituted the oil for unsweetened applesauce. I used manderin oranges that were sweetened with Splenda. For the topping both times I used instant lemon pudding to keep with the citrus theme. I mixed the pudding with pineapple with the juice drained and then folded in the whipped topping (low fat Cool Whip). It helped save some calories and it wasn't as overpoweringly sweet as the first time I made it. Next time I'm going to try and hunt down a lower sugar cake mix, that might just make it perfect.

Creamy Cream Cheese Frosting
I loved it, it was super easy and added 1 tsp. I cut the sugar down to 1 cup though and thought it was a little too sugary even cut back, I think next time I'll try 3/4. If you have trouble with texture make sure you soften the cream cheese to room temp, I had no prob with blending.
