About this Cook
My name is Susanne, I am a married stay at home mom at the moment. I have a baby girl named Dahlia (21 months)and a baby boy named Sabian (10 months). I come from a family that loves to cook so naturally I have picked it up. I actually feel cooking is relaxing as crazy as it sounds.
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook anything and everything. I will try anything that looks or sounds good. I especially love desserts. I could eat them as meals.
My favorite family cooking traditions
There are no constants. My parents always recreated dishes everytime they made them. I think I have inherited the experimentation trait.
My cooking triumphs
When someone asks me for the recipe, thats a triumph.
My cooking tragedies
My greatest tragdies would be when I forget I added salt and I add some more. In the end it tastes like we just put the salt shaker straight to our mouths.

Churros II
SOOO GOOD! I have to say, I was afraid and I had very little expectation of this coming out good because Churros are pretty amazing and I didnt think it could be this easy! But it was!! I used butter in place of the margarine and added a little vanilla extract to the batter. I used a disposable pastry bag with a Wilton Star tip #32. Everyone LOVED them. We dont eat fried foods often but Ill definitely make these again!

Cherry Cobbler II
This cobbler was pretty yummy! But I agree with some other reviewers that 1/4 cup butter is PLENTY and that the cake part of the cobbler was very thin. I think next time I would double the rest of the ingredients and still reduce butter. I baked mine in an 8x8 pan for 55mins. I also added a little vanilla and cinnamon to the batter. I had still had some pools of melted butter on top when I pulled it out of the oven. But I used it to soak the edges and corners. This wasn't AMAZING as some have put it, but it was definitely worth trying. I topped it with some French Vanilla Ice Cream while it was still hot and gooey from the oven.

Cream Cheese Pound Cake I
This is a great pound cake recipe! I made this over the December holidays as part of a breakfast spread. I made a strawberry sauce with fresh and frozen strawberries, sugar and vanilla extract cooked down just a bit. It was perfect! I baked mine in 2 loaf pans and it took a little longer to bake so after the 1st hour I covered them with foil so they wouldn't get too brown on top.
