About this Cook
I'm married and a mother of 3 girls.
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook traditional Eastern European foods. They remind me of childhood days in the kitchen with my grandmother. Both of my Grandmothers tought me the painsaking traditions of preparing food and cakes for all the holidays.
My favorite family cooking traditions
The unofficial bakeoff we have on Purim (jewish holiday). We all bake our best and exchange baskets of baked goods and candy with each other.
My cooking triumphs
Scones!!!!! I finally made the perfect scone. I've been trying for 15 years to get it just right.

Caramel Popcorn
halved the recipe to try it before making a big batch. I wish I would have made the whole batch, this is AMAZING!! one of the best caramel corn recipes I've tried. I turned it into moose much by adding toasted pecans with the caramel and drizzling with dark chocolate after it cooled. Harry and davids has nothing on this.

Oatmeal Lace Cookies
The best lace cookie I've ever had!! I up'd the servings to 36 and sandwiched them with chocolate. Make sure they are well baked of they will stick. If done right, they practically slide off. Also, I used a 1/2 tsp. cookie scoop leveled and these to me were the perfect size. I aslo spread them a bit with the back of a spoon to get them nice and thin. Do not bake these on a very humid day. They will not crisp up well due to moisture in the air. If it's muggy, make a red velvet or chocolate cake instead and save this for a dry day.

Aunt Gail's Oatmeal Lace Cookies
as written these did not spread but ended up like oat shortbread almost. For the 2nd half of the batch I added 1 T. corn syrup and 1T. water to it. That gave me a lace cookie.
