I think my husband is teasing me.He sends me this link:http://www.uncrate.com/men/home/kitchen/italian-ravioli-makers/O course, I instantly want them. That's when he makes some sort of LOGICAL statement along the lines of "Do we REALLY need it?"Of course I do :) Who needs logic at… MORE

How could he say no to this?

About this Cook

Newlywed, I'm just trying to get just a little more creative in the kitchen & add to my list of "Oh, I can't burn that" recipes.

My favorite things to cook

Anything with a starch.

My favorite family cooking traditions

My sister and I enjoy cooking anything we learned from my grandmother....including her awesome Texas chocolate sheet cake

My cooking triumphs

I celebrate any meal I don't manage to burn

My cooking tragedies

replacing salt instead of sugar in a dewberry cobbler. Yum. Starting a fire boiling water....takes talent!

Banana Bread II

Really good! I added a SMALL amount of nutmeg, 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp of vanilla to the mixture. I also used bananas that were a little overripe, which makes the banana flavor a bit more intense. YUM!

Bean 'N' Beef Crescent Pie

This recipe is simple and a nice change from soft taco night. I used Mama Renfro's Roasted Chipotle hot sauce for a great smokey flavor. The 1 can of cresent rolls didn't exactly cover the entire dish, so I had to use two. (Granted I didn't try too hard to make 1 can work) Next time I might attempt to use a deep dish pie pan.
