Fresh Apple Cake I
About this Cook
I'm a very happily married mother of two beautiful little girls (an infant and a 7 year old) and a Legal Billing Specialist (oooh, the excitement). I constantly try to find humor in everything, but when my cooking goes all wrong, I don't find it very funny. I'm very sensitive about my cooking. ::Sniff::
My favorite things to cook
Baked goods. Way too many.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Traditions? My mom thinks it's so funny that I have such an interest in cooking as our meals consisted primarily of spaghetti, burgers and tuna fish growing up. She sure does love all the yummy things I share with her though!
My cooking triumphs
Making my first cheesecake- and it was perfect. Also, having a co-worker pay me to bake for their family's Thanksgiving dinner. That was quite the compliment.
My cooking tragedies
In my pregnancy haze, I forgot to put sugar in sugar cookies. Whoops.

Throw Together Mexican Casserole
Yum! Here's the changes I made primarily for purposes of using what I had: used 1 lb. ground turkey, omitted the olives & taco sauce, added an onion, used a 16 oz. bag of frozen corn, a packet and a half of taco seasoning, a 15 oz. can of tomato sauce and cooked all on the stove in a large frying pan. Once the egg noodles were cooked and drained and the turkey mixture was nicely cooked and mixed together, I combined both and placed all in a 13 x 9 baking dish, topped with a colby-monterey blend cheese and baked for 15 minutes on 325 degrees. When serving I topped with a dollop of sour cream and crushed tortilla chips. Perfect meal for a snow-bound day!

Kettle Corn
I am so excited I can make this at home! I used the 3 kernel and the shake and sit tips (though I should have picked it up from the burner to shake- not too much burned though). Next time I'll use a tad more sugar. I can't wait to make this for my 7 year old! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Shepherd's Pie VI
This was really good! I know I used a few more potatoes and instead of the shredded up carrot layer, I simply heated up a bag and a half of frozen peas and carrots and mixed them with the meat mixture in the casserole dish. I took the advice adding a 1/4 c. Worcestershire sauce to the meat (I used ground turkey), used the entire can of beef broth and 2 tbs. ketchup to compensate for the extra veggies. Prep time was a bit, but it was really good. Also placed in a 3 qt. casserole dish to compensate for the additional veggies.
