About this Cook
I love being a mom and love surprising my family with something new for supper. Even better if I managed to pull it off and they love it!
My favorite things to cook
I am a baker really. I love baking delicious treats, and it's even better if people really love it.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom calls it Minced Meat and Mashed Potatoes but it's really not. More like a ground beef with carrots in onion gravy on mashed potatoes.
My cooking tragedies
I learned the hard way that the microwave popcorn still needs to be watched even if there is a button on the microwave that says 'Popcorn'... it actually caught on fire!!

No Bake Peanut Butter Pie
I made this with no changes. I really liked it, but I think I would give it 5 stars if there were some kind of inclusions like Reese's Pieces or Peanut ButterCups, maybe even chopped up Oreo Cookies. I will add something next time but can't give 5 stars since it's not in the recipe. Still very good and worth the tiny effort to make it since it is very easy. Liked that it made 2 pies so I could give one away =)

Banana Oat Muffins
Mmm... Moist, delicious. I added half the banana last so I had some nice banana blobs, otherwise followed directions exactly. I always freeze over-ripe bananas for banana bread but this may be all arround better and easier! Except maybe if I am craving a toasted banana bread. Did you know that the smell of banana bread is the number one aphrodisiac for women? My house still smells wonderful! Oh I also got 20 muffins out of this recipe, but they weren't overflowing the cups.

Awesome Carrot Muffins
We all really liked this! I disliked all the effort that went in to grating the carrots.
