I am the 3rd oldest of 9 children. I love reading and writing, baking, shopping, beadwork, and playing Ultimate Frisbee.
My favorite things to cook
Cupcakes, cookies, cakes, soups, hot chocolate and coffee drinks.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Baking cookies with my Grandma and making stollen every Christmas.
My cooking triumphs
Making complete dinners for my family, successfully making boxed Angel Food cakes, entering food at the Wisconsin State Fair, and making cupcakes and cookies with my younger siblings.
My cooking tragedies
When I made basic chocolate chip cookies and somehow left out half of the flour.(I never could figure out how that happened!) The cookies were crispy and almost paper thin with big lumps of chocolate in the middle. They actually weren't that bad, just chewy and rather tasteless.
