About this Cook
I love to eat and I love to cook when I'm in the mood. I have a very small kitchen and so I have to be in the mood to not only cook but immediately clean in order to have work space.
My favorite things to cook
Breakfast. Waffles & Pancakes & Sausage Gravy & Homemade biscuits. I also like to make confections. I like to try to make new stuff that I see on tv or in restaurants.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Homemade Flour Tortillas used for homemade burritos...especially the kind with potatos. Pot Roast on Sundays. Cabbage Rolls. Homemade Spaghetti Sauce.
My cooking triumphs
I can make really delicious cinnamon rolls. I've made them for holidays and parties. Everyone loves them.
My cooking tragedies
I usually experience tragedies when I bake bread. And, many times I've burned things on the grill. I just can't seem to get shisk ka bobs cooked right.

Hot Fudge Sauce
Simple, easy, and very very good! This turned out fudgy and thick and so fast. I even forgot the vanilla and its still great. Next time I'll put in the vanilla and I believe this is the basic easy hot fudge recipe that I can experiment with. I suppose you could add an extract of another flavor and it would be awesome if you like that sort of thing. Also- I think any 4 oz's of chocolate will do. I had to improvise. I had two squares of unsweetened baker's chocolate and so I also added about the equivalent of two more squares of chocolate (I had nestle's swirled white/dark choc chips). I figured that added the bit of sweetness that the unsweetened squares lacked. I love this easy recipe. I'm printing it off to tape onto the inside of one of my cabinets. That's where I tape a select few good, basic recipes that I use.

Dessert Crepes
These are AWESOME! I suggest though to blend in the blender for no lumps. I whisked it all first and then (probably because I didn't sift my flour) there were some little lumps so I poured it all in to the blender for a few seconds and then made them. They are perfect as the recipe states. Thanks!
