The first time I ever cooked was when I made Jello for the first time- I was three! My mom was home from work and was sick, so I figured it out, and it worked. I have been smitten with cooking ever since.

Coconut Cream Dessert

Reviewed on Oct. 13, 2009 by Beth 
Made this yesterday. This was really good. I used cool whip but may try making my own whipped cream next time and see if there's a difference. Will also increase bottom crust by 1/2 next time. Only real change I made was to add a small amount of coconut to the pudding before putting it on the cream cheese layer and then added additional chopped pecans to the top. Great recipe for a family gathering or potluck!!

Clone of a Cinnabon

Reviewed on Oct. 13, 2009 by Beth 
These were delicious! First time I've ever cooked anything with yeast. I've always been nervous about baking with yeast. I don't own a breadmaker but per several reviews I managed my way through it without one. My dough didn't rise to double in size by any means, but I'm assuming it's my lack of experience working with yeast that caused this. Either way, it did rise somewhat and after rolling the dough with cinnimon mixture (i mixed all together before spreading on the dough) I let them sit awhile on top of the warm stove and they rose quite a bit more. End result was great. These did not last long at my house and I will most certainly make them again. Hopefully I'll begin to get more acustomed to using yeast and can try more breads ect. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe

Wonderful! I used 1/2 oil and 1/2 applesauce and ommitted the raisons as DH doesn't like them. Was moist and delicious. Thank you!
