About this Cook
I live in a rural area of central FL caleed Indian Lake Estates with my Hubby, 7 dogs (poodles & Poms) and 4 rescued cats! I am very active in charity work & church, while trying to reach people for Christ.
My favorite things to cook
Desserts are my favorite things to cook, Grandma Ople's Apple Pie has become my signature pie and favorite with my family and friends. I also enjoy making a good spaghetti or lasagne and my husband loves home-made waffles!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mother-in-law's chicken & dumplings (passed down). I am the only one left in the family that has been able to master these. A large variety of Christmas cookies to pass out to friends & family and my mom's lemon meringue pie!
My cooking triumphs
A great chocolate chip cookie!
My cooking tragedies
Too much barley in my beef barley soup. You know how thick that was!

Applesauce Bars
These are definitely a 4 if you bake according to the recipe. The frosting is the only thing that made them sweet enough for my taste. I would not just dust them with powdered sugar. I used a 9x13 pan but doubled the recipe. I anticipate they will have more flavor after sitting a couple of days. The spice flavor is a little weak.

Cheddar Mashed Potatoes
I was very disappointed. This dish actually has very little flavor if the recipe is followed as is. I would make again but I would double all of the ingredients except the potatoes & I would use up to 1C of sour cream. I woul also mix all of the ingredients togeter.

Pecan Squares Cookies
Delicious!! If you do not have a15x10x1pan, do not put the full amount of filling onto a 9x13. Even if you cut back the corn syrup 1C. The center will not get done. I had to throw out about 10 squares. I baked my second batch in 2 8x8 glass pans. I still only used 1c corn syrup. Turned out perfect. Still bake 20-25 minutes.
