About this Cook
This website is WONDERFUL! I've always enjoyed cooking and baking, but never was comfortable with experimenting with recipes for fear of really messing up. This website allows me to use everyones feedback on recipes and make a good thing into a great thing! Which is turning me from a good cook into a great cook. ;)
My favorite things to cook
Desserts...I love baking. Recently a recipe I have for cookie crust cheesecake cupcakes has been in great demand.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I have to make a dutch apple pie every Thanksgiving. It's been something I've had to do since I was 16, when I just did it for fun, but my parents were so impressed that I have been made to do it every year since...I still enjoy it so long as someone else peels the apples. :) Thanksgiving is my favorite "traditional meal" not sure why...but I always enjoy it.
My cooking triumphs
Anything that I try making for the very first time that turns out awesome...like my chili. Thanks broiler maker recipe...and the oh so helpful reviews below.
My cooking tragedies
Well there have been a couple. I forgot to put flour in brownies once...boy those were some sad looking crunchy pudding things...and the other I forgot to put eggs in a kahluha cake and it turned in something bad too. Bless my boyfriends heart for still eating it even though I couldn't figure out what I had done wrong...the person who gave me the recipe forgot to mention the eggs...whoops.

Sensational Steak Sandwich
It wasn't the best steak sandwich I've had, but still had nice flavor. I omitted the horseradish sauce due to personal taste and added bacon. I cooked everything on the stove top for a little over a half hour. I thickened the sauce with just a touch of cornstarch. I toasted the bread in the oven, then added the provalone and bacon to heat before filling the sandwich and serving. I did enjoy the flavor, but will stick with a more favored recipe to this one.

Filet Mignon with Rich Balsamic Glaze
I didn't care for the balsamic sauce to much. It was very vinegary and the meat was so good I didn't want to mask the great flavor. I served the sauce on the side, and it was barely touched. The cooking suggestions for the steak made such a yummy tender taste of meat! I wrapped the filet in bacon and topped it with feta before the last little broil. Very tasty!

Creme Brulee French Toast
This is a wonderful recipe. I only made a couple small changes. I cut the eggs down to four (large eggs), and I left the crusts on the bread. Other then that I followed the recipe. The first time I made it I halved the recipe and it turned out PERFECT! The second time I did a normal sized batch, the only issue was that some of the egg mixture made it under the bread so a couple of slices weren't the pretty carmelized color when flipped, solution, just make sure that the bread is in there tight enough to keep the egg on top and not surrounding the whole bread. Fabulous recipe, everyone loves it!
