About this Cook
After my divorce I discovered I was a much better cook without my ex-husband looking over my shoulder and telling me what a horrible job I was doing. It's amazing what a little divorce will do for your self-esteem! :)
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake anything and I'm good at that, but I'm trying out this cooking thing. My son is the best guinea pig there is!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My grandmother is full Italian so I have a family recipe passed down from her. My other grandmother was a farmer's wife so I have stick-to-your-ribs recipes from her. And my mother started cooking healthy after my dad suffered a heart attack. I have the best of three worlds!
My cooking triumphs
Banana cream pie, meatloaf, london broil, almond chicken, chili
My cooking tragedies
A disgusting chicken casserole. Baking a pumpkin pie in a pie crust that still had its wax liner in it -- for a potluck at work!!

Very good. Did not saute zucchini beforehand and they came out perfect!

Cinnamon Griddle Cakes
4 stars because I did not make it as-written. I was afraid of the amounts of baking powder and cinnamon, so I cut back on both. I also didn't make them as sweet (cut out the corn syrup completely). In retrospect, they probably would have been more biscuit-like with the entire 4t baking powder, and I was honestly wanting to make pancakes.
