About this Cook
Married high school sweetheart. Mom of 3 boys (all grown & taller than me now). Love kids. Love baking treats for family & friends. Baking & cooking is like a spa retreat for me. (well, almost:) Always interested in trying new recipes. Love to read cookbooks.
My favorite things to cook
All my family's favorites. Love to bake. Enjoy cooking comfort foods.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I grew up watching my Granny bake all our favorites, from cookies, to German kuchen & German meals like dumplings, cheese buttons.
My cooking triumphs
Each new recipe must pass a family vote. Thumbs up if it's a meal or treat they would like again, thumbs down and it was a one time deal.
My cooking tragedies
I'm not afraid to try new things so no attempt is a tragedy. At least I tried.

Fudge Puddles
Yummy & rich. I made exactly as written however, I don't have a mini muffin pan so I used a regular sized one. I think they would have been better in a mini pan. They turned out just fine and the taste is great but because of their size, they were very rich. I will make them again as one of my many Christmas treats, but I'll invest in a mini muffin pan for my next batch. **Side notes...I did have alot of chocolate left over so I think I'll double the cookie part next time--let them cool for about 5 mins before forming the well & removing from the pan or they do fall apart easily--making the choc mixture in the microwave & using a zip-loc baggie to pipe the chocolate worked great.

Sauteed Apples
I made this as an after dinner treat to go on top of ice cream. I used our MN famous Honeycrisp apples. I crushed a granola bar & sprinkled it on the ice cream then topped it with the apples. My husband LOVED it. My son & his girlfriend had just returned from an upscale ice cream shop and I asked them to try my new dessert. They both said they wished they had tried it before they spent $10 on theirs. The only addition I might try next time is to add some pecans. Otherwise, no need for any changes.

Yummy Honey Chicken Kabobs
I doubled the recipe & made exactly as indicated. I put chicken, marinade, peppers & onions in double-bagged ziploc. I didn't have skewers but still wanted the grilled flavor so I used an old pizza pan with holes. I made an extra batch of the marinade for basting. On the grill I added crushed pineapple & grape tomatoes. I grilled everything together, basting occasionally until chicken was cooked through and veggies were soft & grilled. Served over brown rice. It was amazing!! The chicken was juicy and very tender. Only regret was not making more. Even with a double batch, there were no left-overs for me today :( Absolutely will make again. Maybe try beef next time??
