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.

Fluffy Whole Wheat Biscuits
These biscuits are perfect. I make them 3 or 4 times a week for different breakfast dishes. The first time I made them, I was frustrated because the dough was WAY too soft and sticky to knead, let alone roll out. But my mom showed me how to use a very well-floured surface and well-floured hands and most importantly to move very quickly to knead this dough, then it rolls out easily (again with a well-floured pin). Now I have the recipe (which I haven't altered a bit) memorized and use it often. And they taste so good fresh out of the oven!

Play Ball Rice Bites
I thought these were ok and my mom liked them but my 8-year-old wouldn't eat more than two bites. The flavors are very interesting so if you like different foods with new flavors, I'd say give it a try. I also coated them with crushed corn flakes.

Crustless Spinach Quiche
This is of course really tasty, but it's also very high in fat. Quiche is usually high in fat (since it's mostly eggs and cheese), but I was looking for one with lots of veggies and no crust to lower the fat/calorie content. This one isn't that great as such, but does taste very good. I recommend replacing some of the cheese with sour cream or lower fat cream cheese to lighten it up a bit.
