About this Cook
I am a stay at home mom of three wonderful children - ages 6 months 8 and 14. (as of 5/2010) I have a great fiance, who loves to eat whatever I cook - so he is my guinea pig. All Recipes is my favorite site - I love finding and cooking new recipes. My recipe box is out of control!
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake. So cookies, cakes and pies. Those are probably my favorite things to eat too. And I love to make soups in the winter.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Cookies, cookies and more cookies at Christmas!
My cooking triumphs
This past Easter I put together a menu and prepared everything on it for 7 adults........garlic cheese grits, fresh green beans and bacon, cranberry spinach salad, rolls, caramel crunch apple pie and a peanut butter ice cream pie. (okay I ordered the ham) This was a first for me and I was a nervous wreck. To my surprise and relief, everything turned out great and was ready at the same time and warm even. ;-)
My cooking tragedies
Nothing too horrible - I was making glazed pecans and I added 1 tbsp. of salt instead of 1 tsp. to the "glaze" mixture - needless to say those got thrown away!

Best Ever Banana Bread
Loved this banana bread. I did something naughty and added an entire bag of Reese's mini peanut butter cups (8 oz.). I had read about someone doing it on a blog and I thought it sounded like a delicious idea - and it was!! ;-)

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies I
Made these to give away during the holidays. I didn't change anything except I left out the nuts. My cookies turned out really soft and more cakey than I prefer. I like cookies chewy / crunchy if that makes sense! The flavor is good but the texture is not my thing!
