My cooking triumphs
When I was living in Germany I made these Amaretto Bon Bons, that were dipped in both white chocolate dark chocolate.. they came out awesome.. mmm! Probably one of the most tedious things I've ever made! Such a long process, but totally worth it, they were awesome.
My cooking tragedies
umm...yeah. : When I first started to explore the kitchen really, I decided a ketchup sandwich (two slices of really white bread and a whole lot of ketchup) would be the greatest, tastiest thing! disaster.

Cucumber Sandwiches I
This is a nice, light snack or appetizer, especially for summer. I used Philadelphia light yogurt cream cheese, and it had a nicer and lighter taste... and in addition to that I also sprinkled the cucumber slices in a separate bowl with lemon and a pinch of salt first... and finished with a bit of dill sprinkled on top! For my bread, I used blackbread (I guess it's similar to pumpernickel - but it has sunflower seeds in it... totally delish!)

Pancakes
This recipe was great, simple and handy! To make it it more healthy, I used a mixture of flour... spelt flour and wheat flour!! In addition, I added a dash of nutmeg and a teaspoon of cinnamon to the flour and stirred well. I didn't have self-rising flour at home, so I made my own. To make your own self-rising flour - for each cup of flour - you just need to add 1/4 to 1/2 tsp salt, and 1, 1/2 tsp baking soda and sift together - voila! And to make it even more healthy - and flavorful, I used reduced sugar applesauce instead of syrup, and garnished with half of a small apple and half of a small banana in slices mmm - hubby cleaned the plate! (Look for a picture - I added to my review) Yum! Thanks for sharing your recipe - I've already shared with my friends. :-) Will definitely make it again!

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins I
I just made these, they taste good - but I would now make the following adjustments. I followed reviewers advice. First of all, 12 oz of lemon yogurt IS enough! Also, I would use 1/3c. veg. oil and poppy seed instead of 1/4 (that's too much) - **also - take it literally when they say LIGHTLY GREASE THE PANS - ESPECIALLY if you have non-stick pans (they still need a bit) - In addition, I tried it both ways - with the high heat and 20 min will nearly burn them, 15-17 min at 350° is best - keep an eye on them! Will probably make them again - but this time with these adjustments!
