Anytime I can make my family or guests ohh and ahh over a meal...it is a triumph! That is the whole reason I cook!
My cooking tragedies
When I first started cooking as a teenager, I tried to make homeade fettucini alfredo. I don't really know what happened, but it ended up in one big ball of a mess!

Pumpkin Cake III
First off AMAZING! I made mine into cupcakes. It made exactly 24. Most of the reviews I read said to add applesauce in place of some of the oil, but since I didn't have any on hand I just added 1 cup oil and 1/4 cup water. THey were perfect! I then topped mine with Cream Cheese Frosting II from this site. A must try for the holidays! My inlaws had 2 each!

Burrito Pie
WOW!!! Amazing!!!! I halved this recipe for my family cause I definitely didn't need the 16 servings worth! I used a 2 1/2 qt baking dish, 2 tortillas thick for each layer,omitted the olives by personal preference and holy moly was it good!!! My family loved it!!!! This will definitely go in the rotation! My husband added a little bit of hot sauce and sour cream, and devoured 2 huge helpings! Also 10 stars on easy-ness!!!

Asiago Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta
This was awesome!!! When I can get my dh, 6 year old and 15 month old all to devour it, its a keeper!! I added ALOT more asiago to it, and seasoned my thinly sliced chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and italian seasoning before grilling. At the end to just me and my dh's plates, I added a bit more salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to give it that extra kick!! Sooo yummy!
