About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
I would like to try cooking more things. The problem is that I should have named my son "Mikey" because "he won't eat it - he hates everything!"
My favorite family cooking traditions
Every fall my extended family goes apple picking. Then the next weekend we all go to my mom's house to bake a bunch of apple pies and cakes. The work goes much faster when there is a whole group of us peeling, chopping and mixing!
My cooking tragedies
I once burned spaghetti noodles I was boiling. I learned to make sure there is enough water in the pot!!

Golden Corn Casserole
I took this to a family gathering and was told to make this a new family tradition. I made the recipe exactly as written. I had to cook it about 20 minutes longer than called for - the dish I used may have been a smaller and deeper dish than Marcia uses. I baked it at home and brought it in a casserole carrier to a party. It was gone so fast and everyone was looking for more. Great recipe!

A-Number-1 Banana Cake
Oh my goodness!!!! This cake was awesome!! I made this for a family gathering and it got rave reviews. We ended up eating it without frosting, although it would have been good that way too. I made the batter exactly as written and I baked it in a 9x13 pan for about 45 minutes. As others had mentioned, it has more of a banana bread quality to it, but it is great as a cake. I don't know how this would turn out in a loaf pan, but it would make a great banana bread. I will definitely be making this again.

Cranberry Sauce
Wonderful! I cooked it an extra 5 minutes because cranberries were still "popping". The sauce thickened and had the consistency I was looking for after I let it sit in the refrigerator for several hours (overnight).
