About this Cook
I live in Virginia. I love baking, cooking, and traveling. I like funny things and funny people. I love cold winter days and rainy summer nights. I'm also pretty good at scrabble. : )
My favorite things to cook
Cakes. I like taking a recipe and trying to incorporate healthy ingredients.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I like that we have a cookout for almost every holiday in existence. I've had the same Christmas breakfast for the past 10 years and see no change in the near future.
My cooking triumphs
Home made spinach pasta. It literally took all day to make, but with an incredible finish. I've also come up with a ginger snap cookie that is requested at every holiday.
My cooking tragedies
Cake balls. They tasted good, sure. But their presentation was awful. I think in general I fail at dipping things into chocolate.

Mocha Coffee
Not bad. Could use some adjusting. Then again, my review doesn't count because I'm not the biggest "mocha" fan to begin with. Ha !

Lacy Oatmeal Cookies
pretty good. i used 1/2 cup of sugar (half of the half was brown sugar, the other white). i added in about a 1/4 cup of coconut flakes....cause i love em. ha ! was very good. though...i found the first batch i made impossible to peel off the parchment paper because they were too big. the following were smaller and very easy to peel off... so... be sure they're small.
