About this Cook
I am a young wife and mommy to one baby boy. I never cooked before I was married in November 2008, but when I became a wife (to a former head cook at a restaurant!) and stay-at-home mom, I figured it was my duty to learn how to cook. I always thought I wouldn't enjoy cooking - but I truly love it! My husband is the worship leader church and together we are part-time independent photographers, and we also music/art on the side.
My favorite things to cook
I started out making pasta, usually with creamy sauces. I think I've finally gotten a handle on that, and am looking forward to venturing out and challenging myself to broaden my cooking abilities.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom is a great cook - we grew up eating a home-cooked meal entirely from scratch every night. I have a lot to live up to!
My cooking triumphs
Every time I make a dish and it turns out good, I celebrate a little.
My cooking tragedies
None yet - but we'll see!

Easy Sugar Cookies
the best sugar cookies i've ever had! my 10 year old sister made these tonight and the only change she made to the recipe is adding a bit of water after the ingredients were mixed, because it was very crumbly. they are perfect!

Honey Cornbread
No need to try any other recipe. This is easy and fast! Instead of heavy cream, I used half & half - in place of veggie oil I used grape seed oil - and I used white whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose white flour. It is delicious! Perhaps the only tweak I would make it to add a little salt and cut back on the sugar a bit. It is very sweet... not in a bad way. :)

Three Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
wow! these were pretty delicious. i've had better peanut butter cookies but that's not to say these aren't great! i was pleasantly surprised. mmm, they sort of just melt in your mouth. they are crumbly, but whatever, you know? i imagine chocolate chips would be amazing in these...
