About this Cook
I'm the mother of four wonderful kids, ages 2, 12, 14, & 16; and married to an equally wonderful Texan! A former health inspector, now I raise goats on a 60-acre farm and ride my own motorcycle. I love to cook, but hate to clean up...makes having kids really convenient!
My favorite things to cook
Desserts, traditional Southern foods, Italian and Mexican.
My cooking triumphs
You'll have to ask my family...They each have their own opinion.
My cooking tragedies
Hmmm. Nothing to speak of...I've been cooking since I could stand on a stool and reach the counters.

Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce III
Great! If I would do anything differently, I would reduce the amount of sugar in the sauce...it was a little too sweet in my opinion. Aside from that, perfect! (I did use a water bath for baking in a 13 x 9 pan, at 350F for 45 minutes.

Gooey Butter Cake I
While the cake is not bad, it's not a true St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake, not even close, so the search continues. Definitely use a rich yellow cake mix, as it becomes very bland with a lighter mix. It does require attention to baking time to prevent it from being over/under-cooked. Adding flavoring to the cream cheese might help--and you could probably reduce the amount of sugar without detriment.

Sweet Potato Pecan Waffles
Quite good! I used a large fresh sweet potato, baked for 8 minutes in the microwave. They peel quite easily and you don't get the "canned" taste. Because canned sweet potatoes are in syrup, a bit more sugar might be appropriate, although I found the tablespoon to be enough for my family's tastes. I felt the recipe calls for a smidge too much baking powder; I'll reduce it by 1/2 tsp. the next time around. I'll also try halving the nutmeg and adding some cinnamon--but these are just changes based on my personal tastes.
