About this Cook
interested in lots of things, tend to cook more in the winter months. Summer I tend my gardens and walk a lot.
My favorite things to cook
I love to make bread, makes the whole house smell wonderful, enjoy a slice just out of the oven.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I don't follow my family traditions ( greasy and unhealthy ) I like to stay somewhat healthy, little grease and fat as possible, but retaining great taste.
My cooking triumphs
My cheesecakes have always been a favorite. I like to make a different flavor each time.
My cooking tragedies
always had trouble with pie crust. HATE making pie crust

Grandma's Doughnuts
Best doughnut I've ever had. Very quick and easy to make. I didn't cut a hole in them either.

Chocolate Chip Cookies I
A good recipe that is very forgiving, each time I make it I throw in a few nuts, or some oatmeal, dried fruits, etc. Whatever I have leftover in the frig. Cookies turn out perfect each time. Last time I made these I drank a margaritas while they baked, even MORE enjoyable
