About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
Almost anything that involves baking - I love baking! I also love finding new, interesting meals for my family that aren't too complicated to make on a weeknight.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Cookies during the holidays, my grandmother's rolls, and various other recipes from both of my grandmothers.

Irish Cream Brownies
Very good, and very easy! I made two pans, one with Irish cream as the recipe calls for, and one with Amarula, and both turned out very well. I followed the recipe as listed, other than just mixing all the ingredients for the frosting together at once, rather than cooking the milk, liqueur, and coffee together in advance. The frosting itself turned out quite tasty, and would be a frosting that would also be quite good on other items. I also had no toffee bits or Heath bars to use, so I just melted some chocolate and decorated the top of both pans with the melted chocolate. I would most definitely make these again!

Peppermint Brownies
Very good, and quite easy to make. Based on other reviewers suggestions, I just put the chocolate on top as soon as they came out of the oven and spread it once it had melted a bit, then sprinkling it with the extra crushed peppermint candy. It was extremely easy that way and looked quite nice. I also used 1 cup of crushed peppermint candy in the brownies instead of just 3/4 cup, with whatever was left going on top. And rather than using foil, greasing it, etc, I baked these in a glass pan that I had greased well. They came out fine, and were enjoyed by all. They are a fudgy sort of brownie rather than a cakey one, but that's my preferred kind of brownie anyway. I will definitely be making these again!

Cherry Bliss Brownies
These are quite good, and extremely easy to make. I gave it four stars because I couldn't take away just a half star, and even though they're good, they do taste much like they were made with canned pie filling, which they obviously are. Now, that being said, these are better (and less canned pie filling flavored) the day after they are made - it gives the flavors more time to blend together and they're just better tasting. The brownies also get fudgier at that point as well. The entire family enjoyed these, and I will definitely make them again at some point. Next time I'll just make them the day before I want to serve them to give the flavors time to meld.
