About this Cook
Creative. Fun. Thrifty.
My favorite things to cook
Quick and easy with super flavor, or figuring out how to make a "secret sauce," something from a favorite restaurant, or making a darned good healthy version of something.
My cooking triumphs
I am triumphant when I "save" a dish-gone-wrong!
My cooking tragedies
Crock pots! Again, and again, and again I've tried to make the "moist fall-apart" roasts and other dishes, but they are always dry. Everytime I've taken them out and put them in the pressure cooker with extra spices to "save" them.

Sugar Cookie Glaze
Add 1/2 t almond extract. Easy to work with. Takes color well. Dries shiny.

Chocolate Caramel Nut Cake
Really delish! I can't believe it worked. I thought the first layer would burn, or the top wouldn't cook properly, or the caramel mixture would mix with the cake batter. I don't know why, but it came out perfectly!

Chantal's New York Cheesecake
Mine didn't turn out great. Huge cracks on top, and an airy texture, not creamy. I think I know what I did wrong! Cream cheese wasn't room temp when I started, so I kept whipping, whipping, whipping to try and get everything to incorporate well. But I think it added tons of air to the batter. Resulting in a cheesecake that rose almost 4" above the top of the pan, only to fall and crack as it cooled. I'll try this recipe again; this time with room temp ingredients and taking extra care to stir, only until combined. Hopefully this will give me a dense, creamy, sweet, slice of deliciousness! :)
