About this Cook
I am 25 with 3 kids and one coming in 4 weeks... approximately. I like to cook, not so much now that I am pregnent and lazy and tired. But I usually enjoy trying new recipes.
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake. I make some awesome chocolate chip cookies, soft and chewy, always a hit. Anything in the slow cooker is great. I love throwing things together, turning it on and having a meal made by dinner time. And salads, Layered salad is a fav. I like putting ground flax seeds in everything from salads to cookies.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I always bring something to family get togethers, even if I was not asked to..... I am known for my Broccoli Cheese Puff, Chocolate Chip Cookies, and desserts.
My cooking triumphs
Hmmm....I think desserts. I love making desserts that look as good as they taste.
My cooking tragedies
Thin pork chops. DONT cook thin pork chops if your used to good 1 1/2 inch ones. They cook MUCH faster, and end up crunchy! Not a good quality for pork chops.

Grandma Ople's Apple Pie
This pie was awesome!! It has a beautiful texture, like a store bought pie. But this one tastes a thousand times better. It's just beautiful to slice, as the filling doesn't just squish out.

Banana Caramel Fluff
Made this for dessert tonight. I was super excited about this as I have a ton if bananas that need to be eaten. I added about 3 TBSP of mini chocolate chips, and chopped up 5 or 6 caramels and threw them in the banana mix. I then kinda gathered up the edges of the crescent dough over the banana mixture. Bake for about 14-15 minutes til golden on top. They smelled great, but they tasted like baby food. The bananas turned to mush. Maybe I would try and make a banana cream pie in it next time? I'm gonna play around and see what happens. Overall this wa a quick and fairly good dessert, but definately not a keeper. :(

Autumn Spice Ham Steak
OMG! this was amazing!!! We ate it all. And everyone loved it. I used real maple syrup, and 2 gala apples peeled, cored and sliced. I cooked The steak until browner, removed it while I cooked the apples in butter and cinnamon for. Few minutes. Took them out, put steak back and added apples on top. Then poured syrup over it all wig about 1/4 cup of water. Covered and simmered for 18 minutes or so. And!!!!! ADD HORSERADISH! it was amazing with the spicy tang of horseradish and sweet of syrup. Amazing!!!!
