About this Cook
I'm a Stay at Home Mom to a handsome little boy. My husband and I have been married for 4 years.
My favorite things to cook
Breads . Main Dishes . Desserts . I like to cook from scratch. I know in the fast paced world we live in now that cooking and baking like that seems behind the times, but I get no greater satisfaction than I do from cooking and baking like my Grandma did while I was growing up. Plus, doing it from scratch just tastes better!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My grandma's cooking and baking. There wasn't a thing about it that I didn't like. I want to be exactly like her and carry on her tradition of exceptional food made from scratch. Peanut Butter Pie was a favorite of my family's...we have it at every family get together and we also make it quite often just to enjoy after a meal!
My cooking triumphs
I find triumph in making a dish that my husband really likes. He's somewhat of a picky eater and so getting him to tell me how much he likes a meal without me prodding him for an answer is a great triumph. It helps taht I'm learning his specific food tastes, and how to meld flavors and spices together.
My cooking tragedies
I made grilled cheese for my husband and I one night. I burnt them so bad that our fire alarms that hadn't gone off in months due to dead batteries went off. I brought dead batteries back to life!

Batter Cakes
This recipe is...interesting. But surprisingly good when topped with the right toppings! I was a little taken aback by how they cooked up - not like a real pancake at all! I was very leery to try these, but I topped them with some berries, whipped cream and pure maple syrup and I can honestly say these were amazing with those toppings! These cakes just soaked up the syrup and berry juices so each bite was sweet and delicious! Reminds me ever so slightly of the pancakes that my Grandma made when I was growing up - thin and absorbent!

Beef Nacho Casserole
This is really good! It definitely needs to bake for longer than 20 minutes because it was still a little on the cold side when we ate it. But the taste was great! Not too spicy and my two year old loved it!
