About this Cook
Mom to two wonderful kids. Have an amazing boyfriend :) Divorced a year ago and moved back to my hometown from Washington state. Forgot how much I missed this place!
My favorite things to cook
I love baking things. Breads, cookies, brownies, you name it. I love cooking new things. Even if they turn out bad. Cause hey, it's all a learning experience :D
My cooking triumphs
Lasagna! I made lasagna for the first time ever a while back. I always put it off because it seemed so difficult. But it turned out perfect!
My cooking tragedies
Oh gosh. Lots. But I remember a time when I was still living at home in high school, I preheated the oven (duh), and when I went to put whatever I was making in, there was a melted plastic collinder all over inside. What a mess! Now who on earth put that in there?! Lesson learned... I always check the oven before turning it on ;)

Peanut Butter Sheet Cake
PB sheet cake makes it to nearly every family function on my hubby's side. I am pregnant with a craving and there's no family event in sight. So, I made my first ever pb sheet cake. The frosting is amazing. It makes the cake. Upon first bite, I was slightly disappointed as the cake does seem a bit bland (though o-so-moist!). My tastebuds caught up and the frosting took over. I think if the cake were any sweeter or any more peanut buttery, I'd be in a peanut butter coma. Both textures of cake and frosting are perfect. I did use all butter instead of butter and oil, and I doubled the icing. Everything else was the same. Great stuff! ETA: It's even better the next day!

Super Sausage Gravy
Gone are the days of browning the meat, making the white sauce, and then combining! Hooray for one pan meals! I don't know why I never thought to do it this way, it just makes so much sense, and is soooo good. I did double the milk and flour because a lb of meat is a ton for just the little bit this recipe makes.

Banana Pancakes I
These are really good. Low and slow is the key for these. Don't rush cooking them. I followed entire recipe and they turned out delicious (did make sure to sift dry ingredients). Almost like a treat. I like to put whipped cream on mine, with a sprinkle of nutmeg and a smidge of syrup on top. Of course, I ate 2 standing at the stove before I got to the topping point. Yummy!
