About this Cook
I am a nurse, and have worked in the same hospital for 30+ years. I am married with 3 nurse daughters, 3 son-in-laws and 5 grandchildren. I love to cook for a crowd.
My favorite things to cook
I love trying new recipes, and read recipe books like a novel. All Recipes is a wonderful website, and I have used many recipes from there. We love to grill, but I love an old fashioned potatoes and gravy meal, as well. Love to make different desserts, and cookies are a staple at our house.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My family is Danish, and I have a great Danish bread I make at Christmas - my mother makes a wonderful suet pudding. I make Danish Aebleskevers for my grandkids - they love them. We eat all our meals at the table with the TV off, pray before meals, and talk to each other about our day.
My cooking triumphs
when I mastered good pie crust and bread!
My cooking tragedies
I have them all the time. I remember once when my kids were little, I spent hours on a cake with a cream cheese layer. It was beautiful, and expensive. We put it on the floor board of our pick up - and I stepped in it!

Mother's Applesauce Muffins
These are delicious! I used golden raisins, all I had, and Savory baking spice - which made the muffins special. It is a wonderful blend of Saigon and Indonesian cinnamon, nutmeg, mace, allspice and ginger. Also dipped them in melted butter, cinnamon and sugar after they were done. This recipe goes in my file!

Cherry Bars
Do not underbake these - they will be soggy. And I think they have a bit to much almond flavoring, a little goes a long way. I cut back on the flavoring in the glaze.

Banana Muffins I
I will never make these again. They were dry and like rubber, with very little flavor. They need some oil or something.
