About this Cook
Stay at home mom with three children, aged 13, 7 and the baby born April 26,2008.
My favorite things to cook
Along with new recipes that I check out on All Recipes, I love to make recipes that remind me of my mother's cooking. One of our absolute favorite meals is Anniversary Chicken I, mashed potatoes and corn. I also loved baking whole chickens because they are crazy cheap and taste better than just about anything else I can make!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My family has a Mennonite background, so there is no short supply of good cooks. Our family's cinnamon rolls are TO DIE FOR (even though I can't seem to get them right)!
My cooking triumphs
When my oldest son said, "These mashed potatoes taste just like Grandma's!" Figuring out how to make gravy (for turkey, pot roast and roast chicken).
My cooking tragedies
Although I try, my attempts at more traditional, ethnic foods are not so successful. I also haven't been able to figure out how to make rolls.

Cheesy Ramen Noodles
I had nothing in my house to make as a side dish to chicken but I had plenty of noodles (ramen included!). I looked up "noodles" in Allrecipes and stumbled upon this recipe. It was really very good! I had some Velveeta that I didn't know what to do w/ in my fridge so I used that. It tasted like those packaged noodle mixes from Lipton but was WAY easier!!

Royal Icing I
This recipe was super easy. I used almond extract instead of the alcohol and used the frosting to decorate individual brownie bites with a ganache frosting I made (also from this site). I'll definitely use this again!

Chocolate Ganache
I only had a 4 oz. bar of bittersweet chocolate but I had a 1/3 bag of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips and used those and it turned out fine. It didn't dry like I would have liked and still is a little moist about 8 hours later. I used this ganache on individual brownie bites and decorated them w/ white stripes on top with a royal icing recipe. The taste is phenomenal ~ kind of like mini Hostess cupcakes and they look like they came from a bakery. I will use this recipe again because it was so tasty and easier than any frosting recipe I have ever made.
