About this Cook
I love to bake and try out recipes that people have had in their families (tried and true recipes). One of my hobbies is collecting cookbooks as well, and I especially like community cookbooks, again, recipes that are tried and true.
My favorite things to cook
I love to make desserts mainly, but I rather bake them than eat them! I have no idea why, other than I have a salty tooth vs. sweet tooth.
My cooking triumphs
Everyone that has tried my baklava loves it- it was originally an Allrecipes recipe but it's morphed a bit, and people ask for the recipe all the time.

Spaghetti with Tomato and Sausage Sauce
I followed the recipe except used ground beef vs. beef sausage, since i'm not familiar w/ beef sausage. (Kielbasa? um. not... i'm thinking Italian sausage, but that isn't beef...) Anyways... the sauce came out so watery- and yes, I did cook it and cook it. Too much spices too, since I used dried spices, it was just overpowering 7 1/2 Tablespoons of dried spices total? The wine did lend itself to a good addition to the sauce, and I cooked and cooked it down in a slow cooker for 5 hours, finally took the lid off at 5 hour mark, turned it to high for an additional 2 and then finally thickened the sauce w/ flour and water. The taste is good, but not amazing. I also added in an extra can of tomato paste.

Chicken In Sour Cream
I must be missing something, but I followed the recipe to a T and it just didn't do anything for me. I like salty food, so the salt content didn't bother me much, but I thought that the recipe tasted too much like the onion soup and it just didn't spread much for the gravy. Just blah. My daughter didn't care for the chicken much either.

The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies
I thought that these cookies were too wet when I made the batter, so I added more flour- they came out okay, I thought they needed more sugar in the end though. I thought as well, that they spread too much during baking- was it that they were a wet dough? I am looking for a cookie that holds up, doesn't spread out much and has a good flavor. I think i'm still on the hunt for the best rolled cookie. It's good, but not the best. I think that the pictures that people posted look so cute though- those didn't look too spread out.
