About this Cook
I LOVE to cook and I love to cook for people. I cannot wait to finish school so I can play more with food!
My favorite things to cook
Desserts...I love to get creative.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My grandma's home-made bread - it's time consuming, but so worth it! And it's all by hand - it will never touch a bread machine! Also, my mom's pumpkin bread.

Lighter Banana Muffins
I have made these many, many times and these muffins rise amazingly...so beautiful. Per other reviews, I add one extra banana, 1/4 cup skim milk, 1/2 tsp vanilla. I also add just a very slight drizzle of oil and mini-chocolate chips to half the recipe. These muffins, however, are not as moist as other reviewers claim, especially when compared to store-bought muffins or boxed recipes. They are not dry, but they are not extremely moist either. The muffins are also heavy and filling, and as another reviewer said, get tougher once cooled. Just warm them, however, if this bothers you. All in all, these are great muffins if you want a more natural and healthy one, which is why I make them all the time. They are great for snacks and for breakfast. Plus, the kiddos love 'em!

Restaurant-Style Taco Meat Seasoning
This is awesome. I tried this for my husband because I've never been fond of packaged taco seasoning. I actually used this seasoning on one pound of ground turkey, but I left the measurments of the dried seasonings as is. I reduced the amount of water to 2/3 cup. It turned out great and my husband absolutely loved it. He was even shocked to discover that I'd used turkey meat...said he couldn't tell the difference.

Marinated Flank Steak
I would give this ten stars if I could. I have used this marinade twice for fajitas. They turned out so tender and amazingly delicious...also very addicting since I continued to eat and eat although I was very full.
