About this Cook
Wife and Mother to two young boys. Currently a SAHM but have worked in counseling and nursing. I am passionate about helping others. My hobbies usually include creating things with my hands...food included.
My favorite things to cook
Ethnic foods, breads, desserts and new interesting recipes.
My favorite family cooking traditions
We always make Mexican food for Christmas eve and Biscuits and Gravy when camping. I have adapted traditional Hawaiian and Chinese dishes passed down from my husband's native Hawaiian grandfather.
My cooking triumphs
Recreating a dish, sauce or anything else just by tasting and figuring out what is in the "secret recipe." After my experimenting, I have some great copycat recipes in my collection.
My cooking tragedies
I seem to always burn the last batch of cookies!

Whole Wheat Cut Out Cookies
I ended up having to add an extra cup of flour because the dough was just too sticky. I also added a bit of salt because I enjoy the taste salt adds to a cookie. Taste was wonderful and wholesome. The toddlers I made them for gobbled them up! Next time I may try substituting applesause for part of the butter to make them even healthier.

Hawaiian Sweet Bread
I'm so glad I found this recipe. We used it for bread bowls for soup. Amazing! My DH said it was better than hawaiian bread from the store. Next time I may decrease the ginger a tad but really, it is very good as is. We loved it!

Chocolate Muffins
These are so good. I made them for breakfast since they are called "muffins" but quickly realized that they are more like cup cakes. So addicting!
