About this Cook
Married...almost 5 years now and live with my wonderful husband a very spoiled dog....love both my "boys" to the moon and beyond!
My favorite things to cook
I love cooking all things. I really enjoy cooking for others.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I was raised in a "meat & potato" family .... At the holidays I really let 'er rip...cooking & baking goodies.
My cooking triumphs
I don't feel I have EVER had a "triumph"....yet! However, learning to make my own piecrust instead of buying it was a HUGE accomplishment for me. Does finding my Cuisinart food processer at a yard sale for $5.00 count? I think it does. LOL
My cooking tragedies
I have MANY! LOL LOL But you just either trash the recipe or learn from what you did wrong...it's all good.

Hot Fudge Sauce II
WOW! GREAT! That being said this is what "I" did for our tastes. We love DARK chocolate sooooo.......I used the 4 sqrs. of unsweet. chocolate and cut the sugar to 2/3 cups and put in 2 Tablesp. of butter and used Vanilla paste....and my secret ingredient? Espresso powder (1/2 tsp.)....that's IT.....DARK CHOCOLATE SAUCE.....made an entire jar which is going camping with us next week. SO.....GREAT RECIPE and excellent suggestions from the other reviewers. THANKS ALL and THANKS Erin for posting this! By the way.....yes, I used the fattening cream because if I am having real hot fudge I am having the REAL deal.

Peach Cobbler I
5 BIG stars.....this is my second time making this....I halved the recipe for 2 (leftovers are fabu!) and cut back on the butter by 1 T. I used no sugar w/fresh peaches in season and used brown sugar instead of white AND added some almond extract or you could add vanilla. Sorry for all the changes but I followed it to the letter first time and these changes are for my own personal tastes. This is a wonderful, simple base recipe that can be used with many fruits....thank you SO MUCH for sharing this as my husband does not like any "oatmeal" in his cobblers/crisps.

Fresh Peach Sauce
I "hate" to be one of THOSE people who see a recipe and change most EVERYTHING about it but here goes. I hope this helps someone? I used 3 "medium" ripe peaces and cut into bite size pieces. I used 1/2 c. of water and only 1 Tablespoon of cornstarch....a healthy "pinch" of nutmeg and used brown sugar instead of white and NO almond extract. It was perfect with loads of fresh peach taste. This recipe is a GREAT "base" recipe and sometimes that's more then you need. THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this!! By the way....we used it on pancakes and will use the small bit left on ice-cream.
