About this Cook
I am married and have 3 children, 2 boys and 1 girl. I love to bake and cook and am always on the lookout for easy weeknight suppers. My husband enjoys sharing lunches at work as his friends love the food.
My favorite things to cook
I love cooking everything. Our favorites are Mexican, barbecue, and seafood. I consider baking one of my hobbies and enjoy doing it.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I think Christmas at my mom's is the best. She bakes for weeks before and has a table full of Christmas candies and treats.
My cooking triumphs
After my dad's mother passed I wanted to surprise him with a Whiskey cake like his mom made every Christmas. I asked my mother for the recipe and she said no it's too hard to make. She finally gave it to me and I made it successfully and surprised my dad with it on Christmas. I shared it with my mom and to her surprise it was delicious. I make it every year now.
My cooking tragedies
I tried to make cinnamon rolls for the first time. Instead of using the recipe in the bread maker instruction book I used one from this site. All was going well until it started to rise. It began oozing out of the bread machine and was an awful sticky mess to clean up.

Pecan Pie V
First attempt at a pecan pie. Very disappointed. First off this is my fault not the recipe but I have a deeper pie dish and started with a single batch of filling & it was only half full. Made another half batch and it still wasn't very full. Made another half batch & it ended up being only 3/4 full. I took advice of others and baked at 350 for 10 mins then 50 mins at 300. What I got was a bland thick stew like mess. Can't even cut it. More like spoon it out into bowls. Sorry

Mrs. Sigg's Snickerdoodles
These cookies turn out delicious every time. I think the cinnamon is a bit strong as is so I will decrease slightly next time. Mine come and chewy and yummy.

Mom's Fabulous Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuit Crust
I made a huge mess! I decided to double this for a family of 5+ leftovers. I put it in a 9x13, got the biscuits on top and realized the pan was WAAY to full. Had to carefully take the biscuits off and transfer to a bigger 10x15 pan. But in the end it turned out good. Biscuits wanted to burn after only 10 mins but I lightly covered w/ tin foil and baked for a total of 40 mins. Canned corn instead of peas and less celery. Also a couple of diced potatoes sauteed in the mix. Will make again.
