About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake and I like to find ways to bake things that are generally cooked via other methods. I am constantly trying to find ways to make recipes healthier without sacrificing flavor. I like adding novelty to ordinary dishes for my son, who sometimes needs a gimmick to eat his food. I am just recently feeling confident enough in the kitchen to cook with meat other than ground beef, and I have fun experimenting with different flavors and accompaniments to meat.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Make-ahead French toast on Christmas morning, a huge batch of granola bars for my son once a month (they keep well all month when made with whole wheat and sealed in individual snack bags), and during the fall and winter we find ways to add pumpkin to EVERYTHING.

Maple Caramel Bread Pudding
Oh man this is SO good! I cut the sugar so that I could serve this for breakfast, and I used a homemade butterscotch sauce instead of caramel, just enough to make a nice presentation. Very indulgent breakfast, probably a perfect dessert. We loved it and the best part was that the prep took me maybe 4 or 5 minutes. I actually had to keep waiting for the oven to preheat after I was done getting this ready. Quick prep, so easy and tasty. Note: I also used sugar-free syrup and it tasted and cooked wonderfully. Thank you!

Pumpkin Syrup
We didn't like this and actually ended up tossing it. I think it was the cranberry juice cocktail, which made it quite tangy when we were hoping for subtle sweetness and spice. I would love to try it again with apple juice though, I think that would make it much better.

Easy Polenta with Tomato Sauce
The base of this - the polenta - was great. I cut the cheese by almost half and it was still really cheesy and creamy, but you should really use a homemade sauce for the top. The canned stuff tastes like it came from a can on top of this. At the very least, stir canned sauce into some sauteed onion and add some herbs first. I added some grated parmesan to the top to make it look nicer.
