About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake cakes, cookies, and breads. I love reading cookbooks. I am always trying new recipes.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Indiana sugar cream pie!! We love chicken homemade noodles over mashed potatoes. My in-laws had a smorgasboard restaurant that was always full of people. They had the very best salads there. My mother in-law is the greatest cook I know. She has taught me well!
My cooking triumphs
Indiana Sugar Cream pie- after several attempts finally can make it just right. I finally can make the entire Thanksgiving dinner by myself!
My cooking tragedies
I tried making sweet potatoe pie and it was very lumpy. I also made one of those dump cakes and the cake portion was dry, it never absorbed any of the butter. Both of these were cooked on the same Thanksgiving dinner. Everything I made that year for Thanksgiving has something wrong with it!

Sweet and Sour Chicken I
Chicken was perfect!! I just now noticed that I forgot the egg!! I guess it really did not matter. Just be sure to season the chicken first. I also took the extra batter and mixed in onion flakes, parlsey, and garlic for some additional chicken pieces and it makes the chicken quite awesome!! Will make again!!

Caramel Frosting IV
Made twice!! Great as written, but I did add more powdered sugar. Great on a simple butter recipe box cake!

Chocolate Dream Cake
very easy.... rave reviews from the people at work! They loved it. slices nice. Next time will add a cup of chocolate chips and pecans on top toward the end of baking as I would want them to stay on top and not sink in. Will make again as it is very inexpensive to make too.
