About this Cook
Married and in law school (read: short on money and time) but try to put a decent dinner on the table regardless.
My favorite things to cook
Brownies. Cake. Cookies. Pie. And yes, maybe I do have a bit of a sweet tooth.
My cooking triumphs
My husband and I did our first Thanksgiving dinner entirely on our own - homemade rolls, a turkey, real mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie... it was a happy accomplishment, especially given that we had less than two feet of counter space in that kitchen and didn't own a rolling pin or potato masher.
My cooking tragedies
I burn things, a lot (that's the problem with trying to squeeze some studying in while dinner's cooking). I'm one of those people that doesn't dare cook without a recipe... my one attempt to be innovative a few years ago led to the most disgusting mayonnaise-pasta salad known to mankind.

Tangy Beef Turnovers
Easy and pretty tasty - will make again on one of those come-home-from-work-starving nights. I did use Havarti instead of Swiss because it's what I had in the fridge.

Monkey Bread I
My husband and I were celebrating our first Christmas on our own, and I wanted to start a new tradition for breakfast Christmas morning. After considering well over a dozen options, I picked this, and it was perfect - easy and delicious. I cut the recipe in thirds and made a single loaf pan, which cooked for the full 1/2 hour. Because I only made a third of the glaze, boiling it for a minute turned out to be a little too long, as it started to get hard. Next time, I'll try for 45 seconds. I'm so looking forward to having this year after year... yum!

Easy Banana Brownies
This brownie is perfect! For over a year, I've been trying several different brownie recipes a month... this is the best one so far. The texture is absolutely wonderful. I made the recipe exactly according to directions, except I added 1/3 c. semisweet chocolate chips to the batter right before baking. So good!
