About this Cook
Don't depend on my review of recipes. Try them out for yourself :)
My favorite things to cook
Desserts, of course!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Mom's banana pudding (without bananas just for me).
My cooking triumphs
Finding the marshmallow fondant recipe on this site. I am truly am disgusted in the marketed fondant in stores. Now all my cookies look instantly beautiful and taste wonderful as well.
My cooking tragedies
Well, it was actually my husband's tragedy. After a long day at work, he had his mouth set on fried chicken. (I don't like to fry) So he decided to fry some chicken. Well when you're not focusing on cooking and you're talking at the same time, mishaps happen. He battered the fried chicken in POWDERED SUGAR and attempted to fry them. He still didn't quite get why he had a black and sticky mess and lots of smoke. I just don't get it. I have always been able to tell the difference, out of a container, between powdered sugar and flour. He wasn't too happy and I couldn't breathe because I was laughing so hard. Gratefully, my sister-in-law was there as my witness. Other than that, he would have denied that it ever occurred.

Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Apples
1 Gala Apple & 1 large sweet potato. Convection 375 degrees 30 minutes in foil line and foil covered pan. Made enough for 2 very hungry adults(2 servings each) had about 1/2c leftover. Delicious!

Southern Fried Chicken Livers
Pretty good with some gravy. I just wished someone else would cook it and I eat it. After preparation, I could only stomach to eat two. And YES they SPLATTER, POP, & EXPLODE. Use a splatter screen. The family loved them.
