About this Cook
I am an Army Brat, growing up in Germany for most of my life and I now live in Middle Tennesse where I am a Saucier'. I have a Culinary Arts degree from Johnson and Wales University.
My favorite things to cook
Baked goods, decorate cakes although I am not the best at it, anything my husband will be thrilled and surprised with when he gets home from work and can show off for lunch at work the next day, :)
My favorite family cooking traditions
My husband always wants cornbread on Christmas morning and I guess my Mom's famous cheesy/bacon/mushroom green bean casserole on Holdiays. My sister-in-law turned me onto a recipe called Carrot Souffle(it's probably on here) that now HAS to be made every holiday! I guess that would be a new one.....
My cooking triumphs
Making flavored cakes from a basic mix and anything that I can come up with that to break to monotany of making dinners that kids will eat every night.

Sour Cream Banana Coffee Cake
This was really good. I used chocolate chips instead of nuts and I used brown sugar in the filling. I doubled the banana. It was very moist and I only had it lightly covered with plastic wrap. It was not even tightly covered. We ate on it for three days in the morning on a camping trip while we waited for breakfast to be done. It was great in this facet and I think I would consider it to be more of a breakfast item then a snack cake. I will double the recipe next time although the short pieces were kind of nice. I did not top it at all. It may have been nice with a drizzle of a white glaze but I liked it the way it was. I had trouble telling how much was half of the batter so when I added the second half over the filling , it kind of bled through.

Wiener Schnitzel
This worked really well and the breading stayed on which is always my biggest goal with breaded meats. I think that if I made my own bread crumbs instead of using canned and maybe used lard or a butter/shortening blend it would taste very authentic. It did make me crave the lemon slice that is served on it in my region of Germany. I will use this recipe again. I seasoned the meat and used thin cut pork chops.

Bruschetta Chicken Bake
I gave this 4 stars. It was SO easy and great for a quick weeknight meal. The chicken was a little bland even though I did season it with garlic and italian seasoning to. Next time I will cut up some italian sausages and put in there as well. It was really eye appealing. I had to use stewed tomatoes because I was out of diced. I don't think it made a difference.
