About this Cook
I snow ski, team rope, and decorate cakes. Mom of two, ages 6 and 4. Grew up and still live in Northern CO where my family has a farm and feedlot which my husband manages. Cakes are currently a hobby, but will be profession once both kids are in school. www.wildflourcake.com is my website.
My favorite things to cook
Anything that amazes my family and friends. I love to get them to try new things- things that they always though they would hate, but end up really enjoying.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom and I cook dinner together several times a week- we try new dishes all the time, rely on many old favorites, but the tradition is that we cook, and eat, as an extended family.
My cooking triumphs
I bake all of my cakes, fillings and icings from scratch.
My cooking tragedies
I tend to not follow any recipe to a "T"- and while I have great cooking instincts, every now and again that results in a flop ;)

Anise Biscotti
This is an excellent biscotti recipe. Nice crumb, great texture! I used Kahlua, fresh hazelnuts and hazelnut extract in one recipe. Another anise seeds and Pernod (didn't have anise extract on hand) Might try orange zest with white chocolate chips in another. Thank you for this recipe!

Cherry-Stuffed Acorn Squash
This was a delicious alternative way to serve acorn squash. The dried cherries added a new layer of flavor and a bit of a tart kick which I loved. Great combination, the entire family loved the recipe. Will make again, thanks!

Pork Chops with Delicious Gravy
Like another reviewer, I too glazed the pan after the initial browning of the chops. I used Vermouth, white wine would be another good alternative. I seasoned the flour with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. The final presentation was garnished with a generous sprinkling of fresh parsley- it was a hit with the entire family! Thanks for this "keeper!"
