About this Cook
I have a large family and I spend a lot of time in the kitchen. I am an author of contemporary romance and it seems I am always either writing or cooking! My biggest pet peeve about this site is that some people don't follow the recipe exactly and then when they review it they give it a low rating and tell everyone what they added. Make it the way the recipe states and then tweak it if it needs to be.
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook! Soups and sauces and biscuits and such are my favourites. I love to cook big full course meals. I usually host our families Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners at our house since I am the only one who seems to enjoy cooking for the masses!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom was a wonderful baker and makes pie crusts so tasty and flaky...but I can never compare to her baking. She is my inspiration.
My cooking tragedies
I cooked Thanksgiving dinner for 28 family members by myself and let the potatoes cook dry! They had such a horrible burnt taste but only 25 minutes until everyone was set to arrive! I was going to get hubby to run to the store and buy boxed mashed but then a quick search of the internet turned up a quick solution! I added a cup of peanut butter to the potatoes that I salvaged and with in ten minutes the burnt taste was totally gone! So it started out as a tragedy, but was averted by a google search!

Peanut Butter Muffins
I don't know what I did in error but it must have been something. I followed to recipe to a T and they turned out nothing like I expected. The mix was not moist, but kind of dry. They didn't rise and they were very bland. There wasn't much PB taste to them at all. The next half of the batch I tweaked and added some vanilla, more sugar and more PB plus a little oil. These turned out better but not something I'd make again. Thanks for the recipe though and I'm glad others have better luck then I did.

Fluffy Whole Wheat Biscuits
Excellent whole wheat buns! Will make again. Mine rose very nicely and were very homey tasting.
