Birthday Dinner

About this Cook

I'm a mother to six wonderful children. I work full-time outside the home but nothing interfers with my love of cooking. I really enjoy baking and decorating goodies with my girls. We've just introduced my 3yr old son to decorating cookies and he absolutely loves it too!

My favorite things to cook

My absolute favorite thing to cook is "The World's Best Lasagna" from this site. It gets my family involved and I'm always sure to have a full table when its served, good times! I also like to bake, nothing says home like the warm sweet smells coming from the kitchen. Anything that we can cook, bake, grill as a family (even though chaotic at times) is a favorite to me.

My favorite family cooking traditions

The holidays are sure to fill you up around my home! We love the holidays and find so many fun and interesting ideas from this site alone. On Christmas eve we always serve lasagna and decorate sugar cookies.

My cooking triumphs

With six children, family and friends, every holiday we host is a cooking triumph, lol.

Baklava

Just made for the first time and its fantastic! I've never worked w/phyllo dough before so, I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into but, it wasn't so bad. I took the advice of many people and glad I did. The bottom turned out soggy but, from other reviewers its probably b/c I used to much butter so, I will watch that next time. Thanks for the fantastice recipe!

Braided Easter Egg Bread

Wow, this recipe is amazing! Like others, I did have to add more flour (an extra cup) to kneed with, no big deal though. I also cut my baking time down to 25 minutes and that worked perfectly. I made two rings, one to give and one to keep. We ate ours straight from the oven and didn't have a bite left. I wrapped the second one and gave it away the next day. I am anxious to hear if it was dry or not (previous reviews said it was a bit dry and hard the following day). I also took the advise of another review and exchanged the white eggs that I baked in the bread with boiled and dyed easter eggs after it came out of the oven. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful presentation. Thank you Holly for a wonderful recipe!

Quick and Easy Alfredo Sauce

I made this sauce to go with another recipe and though I never tasted it alone, my finished product was wonderful! I believe this sauce was a great contribution to the dish and I will use it from now on when I make meals that require alfredo sauce.
