About me:
 I am 20 years old and live in a small sized city (about 250,000 people). My boyfriend of 2 1/2 years is a licensed sous chef and has taught me so many things about cooking. I loved it before, but never as much as I do now that we do it together and he teaches me so much. Trust me... any recipe that I put on here should be well worth your while. :-) I won't be putting any of his on here, because it's not my place to do that, but mine are getting up to his level. Enjoy!

Soft Sugar Cookies IV

Reviewed on Jun. 18, 2009 by Cara M. 
These were good. I made half of the recipe and still came out with 20+ cookies that were a good size. I had to bake mine about 14 min and still weren't brown on bottom. I also would suggest spraying your pan with a non-stick spray. I thought there was a bit too much salt, will reduce next time. These don't spread much, you can place them fairly close.

Tomato-Cream Sauce for Pasta

Reviewed on Jun. 18, 2009 by Cara M. 
This was really easy and so cheap to make! One recipe makes enough for 8 oz dry pasta, double it for a whole lb. Like others, I pureed my sauce to make it smooth, but is also really good "chunky". I used half and half instead of cream (because that's what I had). This sauce is also awesome as a base for a baked ziti - just sub ricotta for the cream, top with cheese and bake! Here's a tip: if you want to skip the pureeing step but like a smooth sauce, start out with a can of crushed tomatoes instead of diced.

Molten Chocolate Cakes With Sugar-Coated Raspberries

Reviewed on May 26, 2009 by Cara M. 
For me, these were just "OK". I made in a muffin tin (standard size, made 12) and some had the molten center and some did not but all tasted very eggy and spongy and also lacking in flavor (and I used good chocolate). My 6 year old DD loved them though and DH said they were good - but not as good as the ones we get out. I think I'll save this dessert for an occasional treat when we eat out. Was worth a try though!
