About this Cook
Im a married 29 yrs old, have two sons, one five year old and a one year old and another on the way! Im a assistant teacher and enjoy spending time with my family.
My favorite things to cook
Love making apple cobbler and I will be attempting to make apple pie from scratch very soon. I also make a great spagetti and meatballs meal. My family really enjoys it.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Thanksgiving. I make my apple cobbler and my peach cobbler. My family keeps asking for it. So it is a family tradition now...The new thing that I have been making is the cinnamon rolls that taste fantastic.
My cooking triumphs
Making that apple cobbler and chess pie for my cousin's baby shower. Everyone loved it. I made the pies, brought it in and placed it on the table without anyone seeing me put it down and watched everyone complement it. I felt truly great!
My cooking tragedies
Ugh.. Making a pecan pie when I was like 18yrs old. All of the pecans stuck to the bottom of the oven,over flowed from the pie making it difficult to remove and to cook other things. It was just horrible...It took me a week or more for me and my mother to remove them!

Glazed Cinnamon Biscuits
This was a great recipe. Easy to make, most ingredients are simple and on hand. Best of all, it does not require a breadmaker if a person does not have one! The only reason why I did not give this five stars was because it should be in the oven a bit less than the time it states. I know it said or until it gets brown). Aside from that,these were very yummy. My family and I thank you!

Paula's Bread Sticks
This was truly delicious! I dont have a bread maker so I got some quick rising yeast and combined all ingredients-(ALWAYS put the yeast and water first, then combine all ingredients in a bowl.) Then after I combined and had a big ball of dough, I put coconut oil in a bowl and let it rise for 20 minutes in a warm oven. (Remember I dont have a bread maker) After 20 minutes, I ripped pieces of dough and rolled it out into long strips and sprayed pam onto a pan. I had to let my bread sticks cook for about 20-25 minutes because of the amount of dough that I used for each one(Thats the only reason why I gave this recipe 4 stars instead of 5.). It almost came out like individual loafs.(Who cares how they looked, they were great!!) But I took garlic powder and melted butter, mixed it together and topped on the bread. Then I sprinkled some parmesian cheese onto it. Man this was great. My family wants me to make this again! Thanks Paula!! YUMMY!!!

Clone of a Cinnabon
The key to this is using fast rising yeast.I used regualr yeast and it really di not rise as well. I let it rise for 30 minutes in a warm oven. I made sure to cover the bowl with a cloth so it can rise.(make sure the oven isnt too hot so your bowl wont melt! I do not have a bread machine. But I found this recipe to be easy without one. I also use a bit of melted butter after the rolls rise, I brush onto the rolls. Then I sprinkle a bit more of cinnamon on it. I also make sure when making the dough I put cinnamon in that too. If your a cinnamon lover, then add some of the cinnamon in the icing as well. It taste SOOO good. I am going to have to make another batch! This is still not a cinnabon, but it is a really good recipe. These rolls only last about two days or less. YUMMY!!
