Chocolate Biscotti for the Holidays
About this Cook
Just a teenager who is getting into "the whole cooking thing." I love to bake most of all - especially if chocolate is involved.
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake muffins, cookies, breads, and biscotti.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom is the real cook in the family. She's great with any type food, but especially Korean. It's always a treat when she cooks us up a Korean feast (especially if there's sushi, another food she makes so well!)
My cooking triumphs
I successfully made an Impossibly Easy Cheeseburger Pie all by myself. The title might not make it sound like a huge triumph, but it was, to me. So far.
My cooking tragedies
Note to self: never substitute a tube pan with a silicone sunflower-shaped cake mold. I learned the hard way, when trying to bake a banana cake for my mom's birthday. I ended up needing her help, and the center of the cake never cooked through. It ended up okay, though - we just tore off the cooked chunks and threw out the middle.

Pesto Sauce
We used 3 cloves of garlic, an additional squirt of lemon juice, and 3/4 c. of oil, but the pesto still turned out great! It made a wonderful topping to penne pasta.

Extra Easy Hummus
I agree that the amount of cumin is too much. The end result was tasty, but it still wasn't quite as good as some store brands, in my opinion. I'd definitely make it again, however, as it's easy and still tasty!

Jo-Ann's Power Bars
What a great recipe! I add different dried fruits and cereals each time - it's great because the combo is so versatile! I always bake the bars in an 8x8 pan, and they end up a tad thicker but still very good.
