About this Cook
I am a working mom, with a German hubby, picky 11 and 3 yr old daughters, and 3 dogs.
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook desserts... Especially chocolate based desserts! But I also love to cook family favorites and good old fashioned comfort foods. Currently trying to expand my horizons and try some new recipes.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Roasted pumpkin seeds at Halloween, sweet potato casserole, cornbread casserole and coconut cream pie for Thanksgiving, all sorts of wonderful candies like fudge, peanut brittle and toffee at Christmas, etc.
My cooking triumphs
Well, anytime I can get everyone in the family to eat something I feel like it's a triumph... But I'm especially proud of my coconut cream pie with shortbread crust.
My cooking tragedies
Well, which one do I pick? I once roasted a turkey with the plastic giblet bag still inside. I've forgotten the baking powder in my cookies, and have made several batches of jam that never set up.

Peanut Butter Heaven
These were good, but I feel that the butter content was too high and the PB content too low. In the future I would probably reduce butter to 1/2 cup and increase the PB to 1 1/4 cup. The flavor of the bars as written were good, but more buttery than peanut buttery. Also, I found 15-20 minutes of baking to be way too short. My bars were not cooked until after 35 min. Not sure why.

Peanut Butter Balls VIII
At first, I was looking at the dough and thinking, "YUCK"! But I rolled them up and put them in the fridge. I used chocolate chips instead of raisins. We took them on a hike, and they were a big hit. The whole batch got eaten and they stayed good for several days. I did process the bran cereal in a food processor until fine, which helped with texture. I will definitely make these again, perhaps subbing some of the milk powder with protein powder.

Oat Bran Muffins
I made several alterations to this recipe, but it makes a great base recipe that you can do so much with! I used Splenda in place of the sugar. I used wheat bran instead of oat bran and I used ground oats in place of the flour, and finally, I used mashed bananas in place of the applesauce. I also added a tsp of pumpkin pie spice. They turned out delicious, and only 110 calories each! (before the honey butter, lol)
