About this Cook
I like cooking because it gives me a great sense of accomplishment when I can provide a tasty meal for my family and friends. I think just about anyone can cook if they wanted to. It just takes practice.
My favorite things to cook
grilled steaks, pork chops, roasted potatoes, spaghetti with meatballs, pies/crisp/cobblers...
My favorite family cooking traditions
Christmas cookies!
My cooking triumphs
Successfully made crusty bread following instructions from Breadtopia.com for "no knead bread". Jagerschnitzel - it's just yummy.
My cooking tragedies
Homemade pizza, I just can't seem to get it right.

Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread
This is a great recipe. The cornbread was moist, sweet (but not too sweet) and full of flavor. It also held together well - not crumbly at all. I didn't have buttermilk, but the commonly used substitute of milk and a Tbsp of lemon juice did the trick. I also baked it in a cast iron pot which let it brown nicely.

Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
This is a reliable recipe. I often have issues with my chocolate chip cookies going flat and the flavor is sometimes a little off. Not with these. The texture is perfect, so is the flavor. I freeze whatever I don't need so whenever I'm craving some I can just pop a cookie in the oven. Thanks Dora, I won't be following the recipe on the Chocolate Chip packages anymore.

Apple Crisp II
This is really good. Just as good as the boxed kind I use when I'm being lazy. It has a good crunch. The topping needed a dash of spice though, so I added a dash of clove, a dash of salt and a healthy sprinkling of cinnamon. I thought a cup of sugar on the apples was too much, but I was wrong. I also didn't add all the water, I just added a little. I can see where it would be needed as mine was kinda dry since I added the flour. Thanks for the recipe Diane, now I don't have to spend my money on the boxed mix.
