My Mom started teaching me to cook around the time I was 6 years old. I love trying new recipes and tasting new foods. I would rather have the things I make look and taste homemade than gourmet, but I strive for each one to be absolutely wonderful.

Homemade Vanilla Pudding
I reduced the sugar, and this was still far too sweet.

Fudge Brownies I
I followed reviewers' advice and reduced the eggs to 2. I added white chocolate chips in place of nuts, but otherwise followed the recipe. The sugar never dissolved, so the final brownies had an unpleasant grainy texture. Great taste! Horrible texture. It reminded me of the time I tried to make real fudge, and it ended up grainy too; so maybe if you are good at making homemade fudge this will work for you. I may try this again using 4 eggs and superfine sugar. (The kind that is finer than regular, but not powdered).

Easy Peach Cobbler
This tasted fantastic! Our peaches were over-ripe and very sweet, so I reduced the sugar to 1/3 cup. I also cooked it longer than the recipe called for -- the long side of the cooking range, and then turned the oven off but left the cobbler in the oven while we ran to the store for some ice cream. It was almost more like a bread pudding than a cobbler. I cooked it with two large ripe peaches (1.5 lbs before removing the skin and seeds) and one small cooking banana. I did not add anything in place of the juice that would have come in canned peaches. I think that many of the discrepancies on the reviews for this recipe (regarding how much sugar to add) are because of people using canned peaches "in real fruit juice" or "in syrup".
