About this Cook
I love my husband and I love to cook... my husband loves me, and loves to eat. My life is perfect. We keep a blog to entertain our distant family, often times we share cooking stories. Feel free to snoop: tomisko.wordpress.com
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook anything that produces smiles.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I have a multi-cultural home, so we create new traditions everyday.
My cooking triumphs
I turn my tragedies into triumphs... I forgot a cup of flour in my cookie recipe and ended up with flattened mush. I put the nine dysfunctional cookies into a bowl, mashed them up with cream cheese, then rolled them into balls with a coating of powdered sugar and then refridgerated them :-) Welcome to the world my little "Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake Balls"!! They were wonderful, and the story is great.
My cooking tragedies
Again involving cookies... I thought freezing frosting into balls and wrapping it in cookie dough would result in a frosting filled cookie. haha, not the case. The cookies essentially exploded and got stuck to the cookie sheet... they did taste good though ;-)

Too Much Chocolate Cake
I made this for a whole bunch of foodies at a gourmet-style BBQ for my hubby's work. It was a MONSTER hit. Apparently it was still getting compliments the next day at work. Very moist and very elegant. Perfect with coffee on a cool Autumn night in front of a fireplace...

Double Tomato Bruschetta
I really really enjoyed this. I didn't change a thing. Did it exactly as stated. If I were to try and make it better, I would play with garlic salt rather than salt and garlic cloves for a stronger garlic flavor. Loved it!

Toad In a Hole
5 stars for easiness and creativity! Because there is nothing extravagant about toast and egg, I can't get myself to give it above a 4. When I have kids one day though, this is how I will introduce them to cooking, and I will certainly use this method often until then since it is fun :-) Thanks for the idea!
