My cooking triumphs
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!

Feta Cheese Foldovers
I got pretty great reviews from this! I made mine with the tomato basil feta. Only suggestion I would make is if you want them in triangles make sure you cut the squares perfectly or it won't work! I had to make some of mine into squares but they still tasted great!

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!!!
