About this Cook
I'm a young pastor's wife; have been married for 5 years.
My favorite things to cook
Chicken dishes. Salads. Soups. Learning to try ethnic foods!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Spaghetti, chili, Christmas hors d'euvres and baking
My cooking triumphs
I successfully made a pavlova and flan on my first try! I also mastered roasting a whole chicken in the first year of my marriage at the tender age of 22! :)
My cooking tragedies
I've actually ruined french toast--the easiest thing ever! And I sadly massacred some sweet potato fries. I made eggplant rollatini once, but my husband hated it. Oh well. You win some, you lose some.

Peppermint Biscotti
Perfect!! It holds together just like a good biscotti recipe should. It's a beautiful presentation, too. I was looking for something new to make for my neighbors for Christmas. Packaged up well, it's such a nice inexpensive gift. I've tried some other biscotti recipes in the past that just haven't worked. This one definitely DOES work! It smells SO good baking.

Crumpets
There are not very many recipes for crumpets out there, but this one was GREAT! I didn't really know what to expect, but I loved them...so light and scrumptious. I will serve them with a sprinkling of confectioners sugar next time, I think. Or some honey or jam. As my husband put it--it's a cross between a really fluffy biscuit and a pancake. Having never had crumpets before, I don't know if this is what they're supposed to be like, but I did like them. I will definitely double the recipe, though. This one doesn't make enough, especially if your dough deflates a bit when transferring to the pan.

Pumpkin Cookies VII
Moist and yummy! I used canned cream cheese frosting as suggested, but I think I'll make my own next time. I found my dough impossible to roll into balls--it was too sticky! So, I just did drop cookies and they were fine. Over all a fine recipe.
