About this Cook
I am still under 30! Engaged to a wonderful guy who I lovingly refer to as Captain Discovery Channel. He is a great cook, his grandfather was a great chef and taught him everything he knows. I am slowly learning from him but usually let him take over in the kitchen if he's home. Especially when it comes to fancy cooking. Baking is so much fun for me because I can get as creative as I want and it's so hard to go wrong.
My favorite things to cook
Anything in the Slow Cooker. Chocolate Chip Cookies, Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookies. Toblerone Chocolate Pecan Pie. Enchiladas.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Christmas time is when all the cookie sheets come out. My Mom & I love to bake for the holidays.
My cooking triumphs
Having a clean kitchen after spending 3-4 hours in the kitchen making a huge mexican dish. Clean as you go!
My cooking tragedies
My friend Amber and I were making Caramel Brownies not paying attention to who was adding what ingredient. When they came out of the oven they were hard as a brick and tasted like baking soda. It was really funny at the time and we still laugh about it.

Herald's Impossibly Easy Cheeseburger Pie
Added a little extra seasoning and salt to the meat because it was a little bland at first. 5 Stars though, whole family inhaled it.

Asian Barbequed Steak
I had a little doubt at first with the fish sauce but I didn't change a thing in this recipe and so glad! This is a huge hit with my family. I have made it several times now..We eat it with a little peanut sauce on the side. MMM Wonderful!

Sugar-Free Peanut Butter Cookies
Mixed feelings. I used Splenda as the sugar substitute, which was not over powering in our opinion. I also added a tsp of Haitian Vanilla extract which is a little stronger than what is sold in most grocery stores. They were very yummy, the inside was very soft and melted in your mouth. When we make cookies in this house, we have a tendency to devour them right away while they are nice and warm. To my disappointment they were pretty dry and crumbly but I did notice that as they cooled, they held up a little better. So next time we will resist the urge and wait for them to cool. So ridiculously simple to make and very budget friendly as well.
