The New Addition
About this Cook
I am a married mother of three children. I just love this site because it gives me lots of fun new recipes to try, which is always good when you have picky eaters in the house.
My favorite things to cook
I love to throw things together and see how they turn out. My family loves pasta so I am always experimenting with new flavours or trying to copy something we have tasted in a restaurant.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love baking dozens of different kinds of treats for Christmas. I remember my mom starting her baking at the beginning of November, and I have started to carry on that tradition now that I have my own family.
My cooking triumphs
My husband and I moved away from our families and decided to have everyone to our home for Thanksgiving. It was the first time I ever made a turkey and it turned out amazing. I was so proud that now every year I make Thanksgiving dinner for our families. I even made Christmas dinner this year 2 days before our thrid child was born.
My cooking tragedies
No matter what I can't seem to make a decent pie crust. It's not for lack of trying because I have tried every recipe I can get my hands on. Someday I'm sure I will finally get it right, so I just keep trying.

Bake Sale Lemon Bars
For the life of me I can't imagine why you would bother rating a recipe badly if you made all sorts of changes to it. I and everyone who had one of these absolutely loved them. They had just the right amount of tartness and sweetness to them. I followed the directions and baked the crust until it was golden brown, cook times do vary so it took all of five extra minutes. The only thing I would suggest is using fresh squeezed lemon versus the bottled stuff, one lemon juiced and zested is what I ended up using. Thanks fdor sharing a great recipe.

Black Bottom Cupcakes I
Truthfully I never read the reviews of this recipe before trying it, I went solely by the picture and thought they looked very tasty. The cupcakes were nice and moist and I really enjoyed the cream cheese filling but the dark chocolate taste of the cupcakes was not something we enjoyed. As another reviewer said we prefer a milk chocolate taste to our cupcakes. I don't think we will be making them again.

Ten Minute Enchilada Sauce
Very tasty and easy to make. I used this recipe rather than using a packet for beef enchiladas. I usually have everything on hand to make it, so I will keep the recipe handy. Thanks for sharing.
