About this Cook
I love to try new things!
My favorite things to cook
Chocolate cakes with liquid centers (this site) is one of our favorite desserts. French apple pie with cream cheese topping (this site) is also an awesome, easy, delicious dessert. I love my Allrecipes cookbook a lot and also use the web page to find new things to try.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My grandmother's pecan pie and fudge pecan pie are traditions at Thanksgiving and Christmas for me. Three fruit cranberry relish is a must have then also. My hubby and I prepare delicious holiday meals together and it is so fun!
My cooking triumphs
Any new recipe attempt that is a success is a triumph. There is a thrill to trying new recipes and succeeding for me.
My cooking tragedies
Cottage cheese bread in the bread maker made a huge mess and was a disaster. My first time making my grandma's fudge pecan pie, I misunderstood and put in 8 teaspoons of salt instead of 1/8 tsp. There wasn't enough sugar in the world to fix it.

Pumpkin Muffins II
Delicious recipe. Too much cloves IMHO. Gives an interesting aftertaste. Use only 1 tsp and use fresh nutmeg. Straining pumpkin puree for excess liquid is usually done when making your own - if muffins are too moist, strain puree first. I got 23 good sized muffins.

Teri's Dinner in a Pumpkin
Used 1 lb ground beef and 1/2 pound hot smoked sausage cut up small. Put half the pumpkin pie spice inside the pumpkin to coat it and half in the meat. Used beef broth, white rice, 2 cans cream of mushroom, no mushroom pieces or green beans. Tried Adding cabbage. Cooked 1.5 hours and could have gone longer - pumpkin was cooked but just barely. Big hit. Either cut up cabbage smaller or leave out and try peas perhaps. Don't like green beans or mushrooms much so didn't try them. Loved the flavor of this dish. Hit with the kids and the house smelled awesome. Love that you can add pumpkin to your plate or leave it out, great flexibility. Pumpkin pie spice works great in this application and will definitely be making this again. (Though I guess I changed it a bunch LOL!) Had too much for our pumpkin to close it properly, not sure how important that is.
