Lemon Bundt Cake
Blue Spiral
Garlic Mashed Potatoes Secret Recipe
About this Cook
I've been cooking professionally since I was 19, and love trying out new techniques and flavors.
My favorite things to cook
Breads, homemade tortillas, lasagnas, desserts, potat klub, just about everything.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Homemade cookies, and some Scandinavian dishes.
My cooking triumphs
Getting a meal put together without interference from my toddler constitutes a triumph to me...so I guess I have a few of those a week!
My cooking tragedies
Well, there was the time with the Thai noodles and the spring rolls...I will never use that much fish sauce again, in an entire lifetime!

Lemon Bundt Cake
This turned out so well, that I'm posting a pic! Made two changes: using a microplane grater, we zested one lime and one lemon, and added all of the zest to the cake batter. Then, we juiced both fruits, and used that, in place of the orange juice, for the glaze. TOTAL YUMMINESS!! it's absolutely delicious! Thanks for the easy-peasy recipe- my kids and husband are delighted with it. :o)

Orange Cream Cookie Mix
Hadn't read the other reviews, but figured out "the fix" on my own- added one more egg, and a healthy pinch of lemonade mix, along with the Tang already in it- also added extra vanilla chips. My kids WILL NOT STOP SNAGGIN' 'EM!!! They're easy, bake up perfectly at 375, 12 min. They're kinda sweet, but what do you expect from a cookie made from Tang? Texture is perfect, and I would readily recommend them for a nice change of pace! :o)

Baked Mac and Cheese for One
This recipe is darned close to my personal one- it's nice to see a "mini-mac" recipe! Real macaroni and cheese is about good, comforting REAL food. Good food, good recipe- kudos to you, for a great alternative to the boxed kind!
