About this Cook
Crazy but in a refined way. Ethical and trustworthy.
My favorite things to cook
Hors d'oeuvres and desserts but everything else is good too.
My favorite family cooking traditions
We cook and we eat.
My cooking triumphs
No deaths from my food.
My cooking tragedies
No real tragedies in the way of death here. Well, maybe that I don't have my Kitchenaid mixer here in Italia and couldn't use it anyway due to voltage problems. Sigh. Oh, and I have never been able to accomplish candy making, but why put Hershey's out of business anyway?

Winter Energy Cookies
I added a dollop of yogurt for moistness because I cut the butter to 1/2 cup as suggested and added 1/2 cup of applesace. Although i love nuts, the prices for them are so high right now, so I used 1/2 cup nuts and 1/2 of sunflower seeds. I gave the oats a quick toast as well. I used dark chocolate chips as a healthier choice. Makes a great on-the-run breakfast instead of expensive breakfast bars!

Beer Bread I
I used shredded cheese in the batter as suggested and added a nice taste. I mixed some rolled oats with garlic powder. Brushed the top with butter and then added the garlicky oats over it.

Beer Batter Waffles
Deliciously flavorable! Agreed that these aren't so crunchy, but I'll work on that. Only change I made was to add a teaspoon of cinnamon. I used Straub Beer, a small brewery in St. Mary's, PA, which uses natural ingredients and no preservatives. It is a lightish beer. I didn't have any syrup on hand, so I decided to work with what I had on hand that one collects to be creative with--now was the time. I heated some peach-rhubarb jam in the microwave and threw some pomegranate seeds on top. Fab!
