About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
I love making things mini and bite size. For example, mini cheese cakes, quices, banana muffins. My mini cupcake pans get tons of use!
My cooking triumphs
I have since conquered the cheesecake (see below)! I now know the basic requirements and frequently experiment with different types.
My cooking tragedies
I once tried to make a cheesecake and after baking it for over an hour it was still jiggly in the middle. I left it in for an additional half hour and finally gave up. It was in a springform pan and after I let it cool and tried to remove the springform, it flattened out on the cookiesheet that I have baked the whole thing on. Good thing I had it contained on something!

Amy's Healthy Fruity
Delicious. I used greek yogurt for extra protein and added a little honey to cut the tartness of the plain yogurt!

Tacos in Pasta Shells
We loved these! They were a great compromise between my husband's love of mexican and my love of pasta. I followed some other reviewer's advice and cooked the ground beef with about 2 tablespoons of the Taco Seasoning I from this site, a diced onion and a can of green chilis. I added about 4 oz of cream cheese and followed the shell stuffing directions per recipe. I did put taco sauce on the bottom of the pan and I think it helped keep them moist. I topped them with a mild corn and black bean salsa and cheese and baked covered per directions and then uncovered for about 5 minutes to let the cheese melt. We put sour cream, hot sauce, diced avocado, black olives and diced tomatoes on top and it was delicious. I think you could use whatever you have in your pantry and make this dish a hit!
