About this Cook
I am a stay at home mom to 2 girls, ages 6 and 4. I am also a proud Navy wife!
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake! Unfortunately that habit isn't very good for the waistline.... I have 2 skinny daughters and a husband who can eat anything and not gain an ounce, so they gobble most of it up!
My favorite family cooking traditions
I'm Norwegian and we bake lots of krumkake, rosettes, and lefse around the holidays. My girls and I do a HUGE Christmas cookie bake every year! Also, on birthdays, everyone picks their favorite cake to have.
My cooking triumphs
Cream puffs, a zucchini bundt cake, chicken enchiladas, lasagna.
My cooking tragedies
I made a cake for my daughter's 1st birthday that was baked in 2 half circle pans, so it was a sphere when put together. It was a circus ball. I covered it in fondant and painstakingly made tiny marzipan circus animals.. including an elephant with a ball on it's trunk for the top. It looked perfect... and was easily the most disgusting cake I've ever tasted. I couldn't even eat it. Awful.

Absolute Mexican Cornbread
I made this bread to go with the King Ranch Chicken Casserole 1 recipe from this site. I made it exactly as directed. It was really good, and even my Dad who doesn't like cornbread as a rule said that he liked it! Thanks for the recipe!

Deluxe Chocolate Marshmallow Bars
My whole family loved these bars! My husband took some to work at the Navy base, and the guys there loved them too. I baked in a 9x13 but didn't find the bottom to be cakey, it was perfect. Did have to bake bottom for longer. Only thing I changed was I didn't have enough choc chips, so I used 1/3 C choc chips, and 2/3 cup Nutella. This was delicious and I think made the top layer more creamy which we loved. Thanks for the recipe!
