About this Cook
Twenty something, stuck in Southern MO, bored of the available fare in the area (They will bread and fry any and everything around here) and wanting to become more experienced and comfortable throwing together healthy, yummy meals for my friends and family. In the fitness industry, passionate about the arts (dance, especially) and a major dog lover-we have three.
My favorite things to cook
Any and everything...although I don't like brussel sprouts.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Drinking wine while cooking and conversating! (I know that conversating isn't a word, but I like it anyway.)
My cooking triumphs
I make a mean stuffed mushroom and I'm great a breads and muffins.
My cooking tragedies
There are a few...

Overnight Blueberry French Toast
This wasn't awful, but it was too sweet, too cheesy (which until this moment I hadn't thought possible) and there wasn't enough fruit for my liking. Next time I'll cut down the sugar/syrup and cheese and up the berries.

Spinach Quiche
Quiche is a standby meal at my house and this one is a good one. I like to mix my quiche about ten minutes into cooking to avoid burnt edges with a unset center.

Pumpkin Cookies VII
I usually hesitate to make anything with shortening, but this cookie recipe is wonderful. The cookies are more like little cakes, but maintain their shape well. They are time consuming, but every year this are requested for our family get-togethers. They are excellent.
