I love to bake for myself, but I eat too much of it! I end up baking for others, and getting a small share is just enough!
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake cookies, plus any kind of dessert. I also enjoy making pies when I have the time.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mother passed along a wonderful drop sugar cookie recipe that I use often. I also love to have corn pudding at Christmas.
My cooking triumphs
I have an awesome peanut butter cookie that I created, based on another recipe but making several changes until I think it's the ultimate. I also make a mean pie crust that took 3 years to perfect.
My cooking tragedies
My first year making pie crust was pretty much a tragedy! I've had some cookie failures and some bread machine problems, but I've been pretty lucky.
