About this Cook
I enjoy having my husband say "great meal Hon" after he comes home from work. I love being a Stay at Home Mom to 2 beautiful daughters, a preschooler and toddler, and in my "me" time I scrapbook. Feeding my family healthy and balanced meals is very important. My family loves to cook and bake for all get togethers, except Sunday nights, that's always ordering pizza.
My favorite things to cook
Local PA Dutch favorites and baking for any excuse I can find.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My Mom's coffeecake is a breakfast favorite and we always know summertime is here when it's time to make countless shortcakes for our local strawberries in June.
My cooking tragedies
Dumped a blueberry spice cake all over into the oven while trying to pull it out. I wasn't thinking when I only used 1 hand to pull out the new silicone cake pan I had.

World's Best Maine Whoopie Pies - Ayuh
Hopefully the previous poor reviews won't keep folks away from trying this recipe. Mine turned out wonderfully! It does take some time to bake all the cookies, but then just have the kids or grandkids match sizes together. The filling was a cinch...just make sure you don't start it at high right away or you'll have milk flying everywhere! You'll notice it's runny in the beginning but as it mixes, just speed it up and after a few minutes it turns into a beautiful white fluff!!! I've grown up around Whoopie Pies and Shoofly pie, living here in the PA Dutch area, and I'm very picky, and this recipe ranks up there with Mom's whoopie pie recipe. I had always wanted to try a filling made with marshmallow creme. I skipped the wrapping and freezing part, as these will all be eaten this week. Thanks Teresa! Until finding your recipe, I didn't know whoopie pies were even made in Maine. Thought only us in PA ate them!

Chilled Strawberry Soup
I doubled the recipe and and used fresh strawberries insterad of frozen. I had to add extra Splenda probably because the fresh berries don't have added sweetners like frozen. Too chill quickly, I put in the freezer, and served to family. All 7 adults loved it paired with mexican entree.
