About this Cook
I am a graphic designer and I like to have variety in my eating life. The main person I cook for is my husband and I try to find recipes that will please both of us and that are pretty easy. I hardly ever follow a recipe word for word, I take them to give me ideas and techniques and make them my own.
My favorite things to cook
Mexican, italian, healthy.
My cooking triumphs
Recently I tried a mexican layer dip recipe for a party. Added and omited ingredients to make it my own and everyone loved it!
My cooking tragedies
I tend to overcook meat, because I fear getting sick with undercooked meat.

Quick and Easy Brownies
These were definitely quick and easy, they were a hit at work. Other reviewers were right, it is a bit too cake-like, that is probably because of the baking powder. Other than that they were tasty. I subbed about a half cup of whole wheat flour and half cup of Splenda, then I put York bites on top.

Amazing Whole Wheat Pizza Crust
Very easy to make and it baked up nice and crispy - exactly how I like it, but it seemed like it was missing something. I think next time I will add some herbs and spices or even mix crushed garlic into the dough. It made 3 small-ish pizzas, pre-baked it for a few minutes before adding the toppings.

Amish Friendship Bread I
I'm glad I found this recipe. My co-worker gave me some starter but the recipe that came with it called for instant pudding as well as sugar and I thought that was a bit much (especially since there was so much sugar in the started). For my bread I used 1 cup white flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1/3 cup oil, 1/3 cup apple sauce, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup splenda and then I added about 2 cups chopped apple. I am really happy how it turned out! I had to add a little bit of milk because the batter was on the dry side, so the next time I'll use 1 cup white flour and 3/4 cup whole wheat.
