About this Cook
Mom of two, (soon to be three) and happily married.
My favorite things to cook
My hubby and I are very partial to Asian and Italian food. My biggest challenge is finding things my young sons will eat. It seems I have to cook two seprate meals every night. The kids will only eat junk, I dont understand, my husband and I dont eat this way.
My favorite family cooking traditions
At christmas time we go wild making tons of baked goods and making baskets for al our family and neighbors. It is very fun and everyone loves getting a big basket of goodies to munch on.
My cooking triumphs
Hmmm....I am getting very good at baking. I think it may just be my favorite. I like making bread and cookies. I have yet to make a "outta this world biscuit" The biscuit continues to elude me.
My cooking tragedies
UGH! The scalloped potatoes from this site. Also, my family is always disapointed when I make anything with Canned, condensed Cream of Anything soup. I can make a really good bowl of chinese noodles.

Italian Biscotti
This was my first time making bicotti, and unfortunately I was a little disappointed. They were not hard and crunchy, s they did not soak up much coffee. The taste is good, but more like a shortbread, not like boscotti should taste. I would definately toast the almonds, they taste a little raw in the cookie. These are however, easy to make and are palatable. But I will keep looking for another recipe that really knocks our socks off.

Apple Carrot Muffins
Very Very good. Do yourself a favor and double the recipe. One batch will just get your family through the day. I did follow a couple of the recommendations made by others, no big changes. I used 1/2c Brown sugar and 1/4c honey in lieu of the white sugar and I did not have buttermilk on hand so I used Evaporated milk in the same amount. It was delicious! The batter was very wet and that worried me, but it turned out wonderful! If you like big chunks of apple, do not shred your apples, rather cut the flesh off the core and dice them in to .5 inch chunks. They soften nicely and give a bit of apple pie texture to your muffin. This is going in my forever box!! Thanks for the recipe!
