About this Cook
Just trying to get by in the limbo between undergraduate work and the future. Working full-time and fixing dinner part-time.
My favorite things to cook
I love baking - I'm told that I make excellent pies and cakes! I also just enjoying throwing things together and making tasty, not completely unhealthy meals.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My dad's grandmother cut out a recipe from the newspaper during the depression. It was a layer casserole with baked beans, ground beef, apples, and biscuits and has been a family favorite for the past 70 years.
My cooking triumphs
I make an unparalleled tuna salad. My boyfriend always complains that his doesn't hold a candle to mine, even though we use the same basic ingredients!
My cooking tragedies
Um, I tried to bake bread once and left it in the fridge too long while I went to work. It was definitely super heavy and tasted like beer. That's not good.

Irish Cream Chocolate Cheesecake
This came out absolutely delicious! I used Pepperidge Farms Chocolate Chessmen for the crust, and I also added some crushed thin mints on top of the finished cake for garnish. To bring out the minty side of things, I might add a touch of mint extract next time, but everything is great as is!

Banana Crumb Muffins
I tried this recipe a couple weeks ago and it made some of the best muffins I've ever had. I like being able to control the ingredients, so these make a great alternative to stopping at the coffee shop before work (the recipe makes 6 jumbo muffins). I know several people have used oil, but these are just delicious with melted butter, and they come out without sticking to the pan at all, very moist. A note about sinking muffins: The first time I made this, I used two pans. The oven accidentally got turned off for a few minutes, so the second pan was in for a longer time at a lower temperature. These muffins were the ones that sank. I would suggest upping the temperature a few degrees to decrease the baking time. That should eliminate the problem.

Angel Food Cake I
I used this recipe to make cupcakes for an impromptu party yesterday, and they came out very nicely. The key to this cake is to keep an eye on it and keep checking it so it is not under- or over-cooked. If a toothpick inserted in the top comes out clean, the cake is perfectly done. Everyone especially like the almond flavor that was added to this simple cake.
