About this Cook

My other hobby is grand kids.

My favorite things to cook

Any thing that makes another happy. I love to eat, but I love to cook for others more. I like to see a big smile. To be honest I like to hear Wow that was good

My favorite family cooking traditions

Christmas cookies with the kids and now grandkids. I have one of my own. I love to sit thumb through my grandmothers & mothers old cook books and notes. They would review and rate them in the margins. My mother would also leave slips of papper in between the pages with jokes on them so she would not forget the punch lines.

My cooking triumphs

I would have to say I have two, the Hot Pepper Jelly in this site. Came out wonderfull the first time. Making my own corned beef.

My cooking tragedies

About every 4th time I make divinity. I know what I'm doing... but it's like the cooking angels are giving me a leson in humble.

Easy Pumpkin Muffins

Easy Is just the word for these muffins. and the taste well I added more spice I'm a cinnamon fan. also added pecans,and a crumb topping. They are going to Hubby's office. The taste was wonderfull firm and moist. Had some batter leftover so I added oatmeal and made into cookies, light and fluffy real cake like but the grand kids loved them. I did think of adding oil and an egg but held off, glad I did. next time I'm going to use reduced sugar cake mix.

Stabilized Whipped Cream Icing

I have to give this recipe 4 stars as is, with a few changes it’s a Five. After reading other reviews I mixed the gelatin in a small glass bowl of cool water if you add it slowly it will almost mix itself. Then heat in microwave on half power (about 500 watts) for 10 sec. this worked wonderful for me. Do chill the beaters and bowl. Allow gelatin to cool a bit then follow the recipe as written. I used spenda run through a grinder to make it carb. and sugar free. It was just what I needed to make mother in laws reduced sugar birthday cake look like it was "cheating". Thank you ETHELMERTZ this is as close as I am going to get to the commercial whipped topping used on the low sugar cakes at the mall.

Anise Biscotti

This recipe was my first attempt at biscotti. Didn’t have any brandy so I used kahlua. No almonds (we are not big almond fans) but wow was this easy breezy. They plumped more than I expected so next time I will down size the loaf and make three instead of two. Son’s latest GF said oh wow this is so way better then starbucks’. She gave them a 10 son was to into eating them so say. Hubby said good cookies hun what made you make them into planks? I love my man. I just said easy to dip in your coffee that way hun. I will make them again and again. Thank you Laria for a wonderful recipe and grate directions.
