About this Cook
I LOVE to cook! I typically try new recipes the way they are written the first time, then I tweak them to my tastes.
My favorite things to cook
Good 'ol Southern foods, Lasagna, cookies, decorated cakes, pies, but breads are my passion.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Almost all of my children's birthday cakes have been made by their mom. We just starte a new tradition where I make Christmas dinner for our family at our home. We also make a lot of cookies every year for Christmas.
My cooking triumphs
My biggest accomplishment is cooking everyday for my family! Not falling into the trap of becoming overwhelmed by the requirements of a family day in and day out is in my book deserving of a gold star.

Banana Crumb Muffins
To make these a little healthier, I reduced the butter to 2 tbsp and the white sugar to 1/4 cup. Then, I added six bananas total to the recipe for extra moistness and sweetness. They turned out GREAT!

Easy Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Cookies
We thought these cookies were wonderful. I loved knowing that it used only whole wheat flour. My family never could tell the difference. Visually, they looked like the same ol' (unhealthy) ones I always made. I added 1/2 cup of quick oats and used crunchy peanut butter. My husband requested that we use this recipe exclusively just because of the hint taste of honey. It made me smile because he didn't realize how healthy they were for him.
