About this Cook
I'm a working mother of three who loves to bake and cook. My children are not picky eaters but I am so I'm always looking for recipes of dishes that I might actually eat or watching the Food Network for ideas. I used to watch my grandmother decorate cakes when I was small and I've been interested in baking ever since. I'm not very artistic or a gifted decorator as some are but I love to work on learning new techniques.
My favorite things to cook
I absolutely love to bake cakes.
My cooking tragedies
The first time I tried to make biscuits when I was 11 was the biggest tragedy I've ever had. I wanted them to be perfectly round so I handled the dough forever and a day.When I took them out of the oven I thought they would be delicious. They were golden brown, perfectly round but they were hard as bricks. I actually threw one against a board and it didn't break apart.

My Country Style Steak
This recipe was yummy! I didn't have a pack of onion soup mix so I substituted 2 packs of brown gravy mix and it turned out great!

Oven Pot Roast
This roast was very good! I did ,however, substitute Beefy Onion soup mix and golden mushroom soup in the recipe because that's what I had on hand and used water in place of the Vermouth. My husband is very particular when I try recipes and I normally wait for his pros and cons of the recipe but he thought it was good and ate seconds!

Too Much Chocolate Cake
I had previously made the Double Chocolate Brownie Cake from this site which is very similar(uses 1/2 oil and 3.9 oz pudding) and found that the results were much better. I would suggest using 1/2 cup of oil in this recipe to obtain delicious results! It's amazing how an extra 1/2 of oil can make such a big difference in the outcome.
