About this Cook
I have come to cake baking in the last 2 years. I have been baking since I was about 10 years old. I have three daughters with whom I share my love for cooking, baking and grilling.
My favorite things to cook
I like Italian food. Other than that I can make almost anything, but usually like to make things my small kids will eat.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I make about 200,000 calories worth of desserts from Halloween to New Year's Eve. I give them out as gifts, and bring them to all events I am invited to.
My cooking triumphs
I made a roasted tomato and roasted bell pepper soup with a Serrano cream, and I had 23 people over for dinner and every single person absolutely loved it. It took about 5 hours to make, and I used every single pot, pan, and utensil in my kitchen.
My cooking tragedies
I once made a tofu cheesecake that even my dog would not eat. That was like 1989.

Old Fashioned Onion Rings
I made these for Father's Day lunch and my husband loved them. I used the Panko bread crumbs, and seasoning salt, rather than regular salt. Everyone loved them and I got nothing but compliments. I also used buttermilk rather than regular milk, it is thicker and the batter holds on better. The only suggestion I have is to buy more breadcrumbs. We had more onion rings and ran out of the crumbs.

The Best Ever Chicken Nuggets
I made this for my family tonight. I did not cut the boneless, skinless breasts into chunks, I just left them whole. The batter was good, but too salty, and I like salt more than the average Joe. I would cut back to 4 tablespoons of garlic salt. Also, pepper is to taste, and I found it a little too much, as well. Remember, when frying chicken, dip first in the flour mix, then the egg dip, then back into the flour, and the coating will hold tight to the chicken, better than egg first and then flour. My kids, 6 and 7, loved it, but it was too salty.

Best Carrot Cake Ever
This is an awesome cake. I wanted to add that if you want to make the icing carrots use a #12 tip and start at the top applying a lot of pressure. Hold bag at a 90 degree angle to the cake. Bring the bag downward easing pressure as you get to the tip of the carrot. Lift slightly to end. Then take a #233 tip to make small green sprouts at the top of each carrot.
