I have been on a quest, for sometime now, learning to make my own bread and rolls.  My greatest challenge was coming up with a recipe that pleased my kids who had a definite idea of what they wanted in a sandwich bread.  We tried many recipes and found good points and points we would change… MORE

Fresh Semolina and Egg Pasta
About this Cook
I'm a mom of 5 great kids, married to my best friend for 25 years and I own a sewing business I run from my home. All Recipes has been an amazing source of ideas and inspiration that has refueled my interest in cooking and sparked one in my children.
My favorite things to cook
Anything sweet or covered in tomato sauce! Right now I am in a bread and pastry craze.
My favorite family cooking traditions
We have a family cook off every few months. Everyone finds a recipe on AR or comes up with an idea and we shop, cook and enjoy together. We have had some pretty interesting meals!
My cooking triumphs
Teaching my kids to cook. All 5 kids know how to shop for groceries and put together a few meals. They can bake, too! Now, if they could do their laundry just as well......;-)
My cooking tragedies
Leaving a cake on the table to answer the doorbell and come back to find our 2 Great Danes chowing down on the "OMG-this-took-me-forever-to-make-and-decorate-for-Christmas-dinner" cake! Arghhhhhh!

Perfect Pie Crust II
This worked out perfectly for me. I used the crust for two deep dish Chicken Pot Pies. I used less than half of the sugar and added vinegar for the lemon juice. I also used all butter - no shortening. Once the dough formed I rolled it out between sheets of parchment paper in about an 8 inch circle. I then placed it on a cookie sheet (4 total layers) and popped in the freezer for 15 minutes. I rolled the dough out fully, still between the parchment then used that to place the crust into my pie plated and peeled it away easily. The dough handled beautifully, kept its decorative edging and baked up golden brown and flaky. I will be using this recipe again.

Ryan's Reverse Popper Dip
Yum! My kids made this as the appetizer for our Mother's Day dinner. We enjoy poppers made on the grill so the boys chose to grill the peppers for a few minutes to give them that cooked and roasted flavor. Once cooled they removed the skins and seeds and chopped 'em up. We followed the recipe exactly other than that step. Everyone's first remark was "Wow" followed by "This is great (delicious, awesome, fantastic,) and some other comments that were garbled by mouths being full. :) One of the other boys commented that he was glad we planted Jalapenos in the garden because we're gonna need 'em to make more of this dip. Our peppers were very hot - possibly more so because of the grilling- but it was perfect for our taste. Just wonderful. Thanks, Cat, for sharing your recipe!

Garlic Mashed Cauliflower
Delicious. I used my immersion blender to puree. I added a bit more fresh herbs (right in the steamer) and used non dairy cream cheese as well as Parm cheese. I am going to stock up on cauliflower when it goes on sale because my family really enjoyed this. **5/14/13 update. I roasted my cauliflower with garlic and onions I tossed in a little olive oil with some salt and pepper. I added fresh herbs the last 5 minutes of cooking then pureed everything in a bowl using my stick blender. Took the flavor to another level; soooo good! I sprinkled with Parmesan cheese to serve. Even my one son - who never eats cauliflower- ate this and asked for seconds!
