About this Cook
Baking is my new favorite hobby!! I'm a transplanted Texan, via Canada. Newlywed and loving life!
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake desserts! I've recently started working with yeast and I'm excited about all of the possibility it brings to the table!
My favorite family cooking traditions
You can find me every Sunday morning making crepes with my other half :) As for holiday tradition.. green bean casserole every year for thanksgiving.... And of course the 25 different cookies for each day of Xmas :)
My cooking triumphs
Hmm.. well it was a pretty big feat for me to make my first holiday supper a couple of Christmas' ago.... aside from that.. I got myself all worked up over homemade chicken and dumplings and it ended up being one of my biggest successes! Now I'm ready to tackle canning for the first time!! Let's see how this pans out!
My cooking tragedies
I couldn't fit them all in this box if I tried! I'm cooking and learning though...

Butter Icing for Cookies
Giving this recipe a three because although the taste was perfect, the texture and workability was HORRIBLE! Too much trouble for what it's worth. It gets hard and un-spreadable far too quickly! You're better off searching for another recipe!

Soft Sugar Cookies IV
I have been searching and searching for the perfect sugar cookie, I've made a couple from this site but l still haven't found the *perfect* one. This recipe needs to cut the salt at least by half. I used UNsalted butter and just added the 1tsp but it was overkill. All you can taste is salt. Ridiculous that it has this many good reviews! Will not make again.

Pebber Nodder (Danish Christmas Cookies)
Don't get me wrong, this is a wonderful cookie! Especially if you like Cardamom! However.. this is my first time baking with it and it was a V-E-R-Y prominent flavor in this cookie. Just a tad bit overpowering for me. I will use half a tsp next time I make these!
