Hello! My name is Corrine (but I go by Corrie) and I'm a recent transplant to the beautiful state of Arizona. I grew up in a small town in Eastern Washington, and relocated to Tucson to be with my fiance after my first marriage broke up. I enjoy the Southwest more than I thought I would and am learning to love foods I never did before - anything with avocado being a big one! I love to bake...I made Mel's Magnificent Chocolate Chip Cookies yesterday and loved them. Cakes and quick breads are also high on my list. I cook for a guy that loves to eat, so pasta is high on the list, as are casseroles and anything that comes together quickly and tastes good. I will always remember Thanksgiving and Christmas fondly - making pies and cookies with family and friends in my parents' kitchen...endlessly rolling out batter for fattigmann, frying them and dusting them with powdered sugar. The first time I made homemade pudding and had it turn out perfectly, I was more pleased with myself than I thought possible! I also remember the first time I made a bundt cake (and had it turn out of the pan looking just like the picture)...I was more proud of myself than I thought was possible. Accidentally mistaking a cup of sugar for a cup of flour when I was making roux for potato soup.
