About this Cook
I'm pretty much your average girl who happens to like to bake.
My favorite things to cook
I like to bake mostly. Cakes, cookies, muffins, you name it, I bake it.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Every year on St. Patrick's Day, my mom makes corned beef and cabbage with boiled potatoes, turnips, and carrots. I love that tradition, because it reminds us of our Irish background.
My cooking triumphs
I made artichoke dip, by combining two recipes I found on this site, for Thanksgiving one year, and with how much it made to such a small amount of people, I was surprised by the end of the night when the bowl was clean!
My cooking tragedies
I hadn't ever made peanut butter cookies before, so one day I decided I would try baking some. Well, the recipe must have asked for not enough sugar, because I followed the recipe to a tee, but the cookies were WAY too salty and very crunchy. No one in my family could stand them.

Plain Caramel Apples
I made these for a Halloween party a couple years ago, and I think I'll make them again with the apple from my apple tree.

Brownie Biscotti
I took the walnuts out and instead dipped the bottoms in french vanilla dark chocolate and then into chopped pecans. For non-nut lovers I drizzled the top with the chocolate. I make these every Christmas for family and friends!

Banana Oat Muffins
Moist and fluffy! I liked they weren't real sweet as well. It seemed as though there was a little of a bitter after taste, like there was too much baking powder. I will try it with less next time.
