About this Cook
My favorite family cooking traditions
The only real tradition in my family is tweaking! We love to start off with a recipe for something that's reliable, and then make it our own. It's how you learn.

Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
Don't even bother making a single batch. So good. Additional tips (I haven't read every review, so this may have already been written): let cookies cool to warm in pan, then freeze about 10 minutes or till set, then place muffin tin cups in a shallow sinkful of hot water for 8-10 seconds. Twist gently, and they should come out beautifully.

Autumn Apple-Squash Crisp
I really wanted to like this, but it didn't turn out as awesome as I expected. Made exactly as is, except in half. In part, the bottom wasn't as sweet as I might have liked, and the topping was pretty dry. If I knew how to tweak it I would! Thanks for offering it.

Creamy Kielbasa and Potato Soup
I'm sure it's not bad as is, but I did make a few changes. Sauteed the sausage, removed. Sauteed onion, celerey (2), carrot (2), and some crushed garlic, removed. Put in stock; added 4 peeled, cubed potatoes. REmoved after they'd boiled till fork-tender; pureed with some stock; returned to the pot. Added meat & veggies, 4 more potatoes, up to 1/2 lb of lentils. Brought to a boil, reduced to simmer, added 2 cups of milk - DON'T let it boil again. Let it slowly return to a simmer for at least 30 mins or till lentils are done. Didn't add soup. Amazing.
