About this Cook
Just a person who loves to bake, cook and create new masterpieces eveyday. The kitchen is like therapy to me!
My favorite things to cook
DESSERTS..DESSERTS...DESSERTS!! Can you tell I love my desserts. Cookies, cakes, pies, cream puffs..all from scratch and these are my specialties. Second runners up would be chicken dishes, cream sauces, italian pasta dishes, and anything that has to do with a Thanksgiving feast.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Every Thanksgiving for years now- my father comes over bright and early in the morning to stuff the turkey and make all the fixings. I learned years ago what to do myself..but it wouldn't be the same without him here guiding me and helping me. Together we create a 10 course Thanksgiving feast for our entire family.
My cooking triumphs
I would have to say that cookies are my calling in life. Every time someone has a cookie of mine- they rant and rave and ask for a batch of their own. The down side is I can never ever show up at a function without cookies-I would be killed. I put my heart into whatever I make and when I hear all the rave reviews when it's eaten- I just love it!
My cooking tragedies
In all my years of cooking-my husband still makes reference back to a chicken teriyaki I completely messed up in my early days of cooking. I don't know what I did but it didn't taste pretty. Other than that I have had a good knack at fixing a dish gone bad.

Blackberry Barbecued Pork Tenderloin
This was soo yummy. A different twist that the whole family enjoyed. I mix up the ingredients and marinated my tenderloin in that for a few hours..then I grilled and basted with additional sauce I made and it stuck to the meat so nicely. What a great flavor. Without marinating and basting often..I'm afraid the delicious flavor wouldnt be as prominent. Will make again for sure!

Hasselback Potatoes
**5 stars for the idea and concept. I would never had thought to do this with potatoes. They were a nice twist on a potatoe side dish. I did sprinkle the tops with some of my fav spices(paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper)for added flavor. I even prob used more butter than specified. Will make again and next time will sprinkle cheddar cheese on top for the last 10min of baking instead of romano. My kids love cheese potatoes and this would work great with this recipe.

Buttermilk Pancakes II
I think these were the best pancakes that I have ever had! YUM! The only change was to add 1/4 cup of white sugar opposed to 3 tbsp. I din't get my ingredients to room temp like some suggested..and my pancakes were fluffy and delicious. Will make again and again and again.
