About this Cook
Love to collect recipes, cookbooks, getting recipes from family members and kitchen gadgets! I love being in the kitchen, spending time with the family, music, knitting, some sports.
My favorite things to cook
Love to bake: cakes, breads, etc.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Pasta, lefse, sour cream cut out cookies, sugar cookie cut outs, anything chocolate. Bread making. Making maple syrup!
My cooking triumphs
Friends asking for the recipes of the foods I have made. Getting my husband to expand his liking of different foods. Getting dinner on the table! I love it when our son says he likes what I have made and thanks me for dinner! Having my parents and in-laws love what was served for dinner and excited to take any leftovers home!
My cooking tragedies
Burning my lip on a wet hot noodle, wrist burn from making popcorn on the stove top. Overflowing train cup cake mold all over the oven and on the dog as trying to clean up!

Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes
Yum! Easy recipe, quick to assemble and everyone enjoyed it! My husband said I could make that anytime. I added a little garlic to the mix. I layered the potatoes and cheese sauce. I did bake with the tin foil on but removed for the last 10-15 minutes and that helped get a golden edge and top. Thanks! A keeper!

Strawberry Freezer Jam
This was easy and turned out great. I would have chopped up the strawberries up a little more next time so they aren't as big. Nice way to enjoy summer berries this winter!

Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Well, I followed the recipe exactly as it was given and the dough is great. My son wouldn't leave it alone. The cookies bake up beautifully and they taste ok. My husband tried one and couldn't believe there was peanut butter in them. You don't really taste it. I know people suggested changes, but I wanted to try it as it was given. I would maybe look for a recipe with more peanut butter in it or adjust this one.
