Waiting to walk down the aisle on my wedding day
About this Cook
I married my high school sweetheart in the summer of 2007. We moved into our first house September of 08 and it's been so fun! I am a social worker working with parents and babies birth to age three. My husband and I are part of a church in Middletown, Ohio called The Oaks Community Church.
My favorite things to cook
I absolutely love to bake. Cookies, brownies, breads, cupcakes - you name it, I love it.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom and I always baked growing up - we made chocolate chip cookies like it was going out of style:) i definitely got my love of baking from her.
My cooking triumphs
The first meal I made for my husband when he said - wow, this is really good:) Also, I've been throwing more "dinner parties" of 6-10 people... when I can pull off a yummy successful dinner where I am able to be with my guests and non-stressed - thats definitely a triumph in my world:)
My cooking tragedies
Most of my first year of marriage... The first meal I made for my husband after our honeymoon, I tried to "throw together a casserole." I thought it was done and served it and the rice was still hard and uncooked. yuck!

Easy Granola Bars
quick and easy! I loved the review of adding 3 c. oats and 3-4 c. "whatever" - - thats what we did and we loved it! I need to play around more with what would taste best and be healthy but as of now... i'm loving my combo:)

Oatmeal Carmelitas
good, rich flavor. I made the recipe as is and i felt like it was a little too much butter - my bottom crust was a little greasy. Also, I might add a little more of the filling next time

Whole Wheat Beer Bread
super easy recipe and was very good! I made as is (although i cooked it a little too long - 55 minutes - so it was a little chewier) and I think i would like to add a little cheddar cheese and diced chillis or melted butter on the top or something else to give it a little more kick
