About this Cook
I'm 31. Married to a soldier. Mama to an adorable 4yo daughter and an almost 1yo son. Grew up in Indiana, moved to Chicago, lived near Seattle, now in Georgia, preparing to move to Hawaii. I've been cooking since I was quite young. I don't remember a time when I wasn't cooking something. I loved to pretend I had my own cooking show! My daughter loves to be in the kitchen with me and can help with quite a few tasks. She's been in the kitchen helping me since she was about 18 months old.
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook sweets! I don't care to eat most of them but I enjoy making them. I also love to cook bread and anything on the grill.

Quick and Easy Brownies
The first time I made this I cut back on the cocoa because most brownies are too chocolatey for my tastes. Mistake! The cocoa taste barely came through. I made it again with the correct amount and they are perfect. If you like things really chocolatey, I'd add some chunks of chocolate to the batter. I freeze this batter in two 8x8 pans. I bake from frozen and add about 8-10 minutes onto the cooking time. I love having a pan in the freezer for last-minute potlucks, etc.

Sarah's Rice Pilaf
Great recipe! The only change I'll make is to cut back on the amount of onion. We really like onion but I thought the flavor was a bit overpowering compared to the garlic. I've been looking for a homemade pilaf that was comparable to the Near East brand that I buy and this is pretty close. Thanks!

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies
Excellent!! The balance of flavors is just right. I think these are a little on the sweet side so next time I make them, I will cut back on the sugar (probably 3/4 c. for brown sugar OR 1/2 cup for white sugar). I freeze the balls of cookie dough in a freezer bag. To cook, I add 2-3 minutes onto the cooking time and bake from frozen.
