About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
Love to bake - in delusional moments I think having a coffee shop/bakery sounds like a nice idea. Also like main courses that require long, slow cooking times - soups, stews, etc. The end of the year holidays are definitely my time of the year.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Dad's spoon fudge. Mom's chicken enchiladas and vanilla pudding (the latter being the best comfort food of all time!). Robin's fried chicken. Steve's grilled steaks. Mike and Beck's chalupa pie. Marilyn and Jim's gourmet creations. Donna's aebelskiver. There's some good eating in this family!
My cooking triumphs
Nothing is more pleasing foodwise than seeing others enjoy my cooking. Most of the time it works - and when it doesn't, I just blame it on a poor recipe!

Soft Sugar Cookies III
There are at least 17 reviews on here and most of them reference that these are soft cake-like cookies. The TITLE of the cookie is "Soft . . . " So why ae people still complaining about soft cake-like cookjies in their reviews??? For goodness sake, people, what are the reviews for if not to warn you away from things you're probably not going to like? (Of course there's other reasons to read the reviews too.) Anyway, I thought these were really good - soft as I expected and wanted. Not bursting with lots of flavor but I know that too from the reviews - and that's what I was looking for. Good cookies that were perfect with the spicy peaches that went with them!

Peanut Butter Noodles
Really good and really easy - I like that combo! Took it to a 4th party and it was a hit. One gentleman had spent some time in the far east and said it tasted very much like the street noodles that he used to get from carts. I couldn't find udon noodles so used fettucini- 16 oz of it (double). But I tripled the sauce ingredients, using 2 parts chick broth and 1 part coconut milk (per another reviewers suggestion).I set aside about 1/2 cup of the sauce since several reviewers mentioned that the noodles started out really liquidy and wound up soaking up the extra sauce. That's what happened - so the reserved sauce will go on the little bit of leftovers tomorrow for lunch. Oh, and I also added a whole cucumber (scraped,de-seeded, and chopped)and two fine diced carrots. The crunch was good. Yum-o!

Good Old Fashioned Pancakes
Terrific! I've looked for a good pancake recipe forever - this is it. I think it's way too thick so I added an extra 1/3c milk. Also added 1t vanilla. Absolutely no way this recipe is good for 8 servings - 3 to 4 maybe, unless your group eats like birds!
