About this Cook
Varied interests but getting more into cooking and looking for food to raise my energy level.
My favorite things to cook
A complete dinner for family from beginning to end.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My family loves my rolls, especially when they are first out of the oven. It isn't unusual for us to eat half the batch lightly buttered immediately.
My cooking triumphs
Lately, I've been trying new recipes mostly from here. I don't follow the recipes exactly in trying to use what I have on hand, but they have turned out great.
My cooking tragedies
The first year I cooked my own turkey, I did not know it came frozen. My husband went shopping with me. He loaded it to the cart and put it in the refrigerator at home. I didn't touch it until the next day and of course it was still frozen. Thanksgiving dinner was very late.

Mom's Zucchini Bread
This is a great recipe. I didn't have enough zucchini, so I used 1/2 cup chunk pineapple. Per another suggestion, I also substituted 1 cup of whole wheat flour. This recipe is a keeper and the best zucchini bread I have ever made.

Sandy's Chocolate Cake
This recipe is wonderful. I didn't have sour cream so substituted a plain yogurt. For the icing, I didn't have all the ingredients so instead used the Rich Chocolate Frosting recommended by another reviewer. My husband was crazy about this cake. After all these years, we've found our chocolate cake recipe. This is it. I doubt that I'll try another.

Simple Sugar Cookies
I wanted to make simple sugar cookies for a family party; something less messy for the little ones. I thought this would fit my need. My husband insisted that I put on icing and sprinkles because it was Christmas. My sister loved the cookies because she said they were nice and moist, not hard like some sugar cookies. I may have added a tablespoon of milk to the batter. The cookie rolls were sticky but cut nicely after being in the refrigerator. The cookies were a big hit.
