About this Cook
I'm a SAHM to a boy and a girl, I love cooking good food, which unfortunately isn't always healthy. But I'm in the process of converting all my recipes to have calorie counts so when I am eating healthy, I can eat the foods I like. I'm also challenging myself to cook most things from scratch, and figuring out the costs for my recipes too, since we have made a decision to live within our means. Its actually fun to try and make all those things we'd typically crave for fast food.
My favorite things to cook
Baked goods, special occasion stuff, foods that everyone loves.
My cooking triumphs
Mastering cuts of meat without overcooking. Regularly making homemade bread, instead of buying it. Making cinnamon rolls better than my husband's beloved grandmother. Making lasagna that my husband loves. Having an apple pie that my husband loves.
My cooking tragedies
Trying to make a mile high apple pie - the apples took forever to cook, so we ate it while it was kinda still crisp inside.

Banana Banana Bread
I added chocolate chips and my son declared it was his favorite thing.

Blueberry Breakfast Sauce
I halved the recipe and it was great for 2 smalls and 2 adults. I mixed the sugar and cornstarch together and added the water and then added the blueberries and set it to low heat while I made the pancakes. When it was go time I turned it up slightly to get it to boil and be ready. I did stir every once in a while while cooking the pancakes and then consistently while it boiled.

Autumn Muffins
These are delicious. I used less ginger, cause I don't really like it much, and didn't use figs cause I didn't have them. Some sliced almonds, as I had them handy. Oh and I used a little applesauce (1/4 cup) to top off the butter. Delicious.
