About this Cook
I am an Army Brat, growing up in Germany for most of my life and I now live in Middle Tennesse where I am a Saucier'. I have a Culinary Arts degree from Johnson and Wales University.
My favorite things to cook
Baked goods, decorate cakes although I am not the best at it, anything my husband will be thrilled and surprised with when he gets home from work and can show off for lunch at work the next day, :)
My favorite family cooking traditions
My husband always wants cornbread on Christmas morning and I guess my Mom's famous cheesy/bacon/mushroom green bean casserole on Holdiays. My sister-in-law turned me onto a recipe called Carrot Souffle(it's probably on here) that now HAS to be made every holiday! I guess that would be a new one.....
My cooking triumphs
Making flavored cakes from a basic mix and anything that I can come up with that to break to monotany of making dinners that kids will eat every night.

Crazy Cake
I made this for a friend who is watching his cholesterol. It was wonderful. I added about 1/2 cup or more of mini choc chips. When warm it is especially good. I frosted one half with store bakery icing and the rest with a coconut extract flavored version of the supermarket bakery frosting. It was GREAT with the coconut flavor. I will make this again. It tasted just slightly different then a cake mix and will be a great sub. when I don't have a cake mix around. My friend is going to adore the fact that I was able to make him something with no eggs. I made this in a bowl but still used the 3 well method and make mini cupcakes and standard cupcakes with it. I got 48 mini's and 14 standard from this size batch.

Cooky Cookies
Love these! They make so many so it is great for sharing and still having enough at home. They have a very nice texture on the outside(all that butter and oil). Remind me a lot of Ranger cookies. They taste like GOOD supermarket bakery cookies. I only had about 1/2 cup of pecan chips and they were great. I would like big pieces of walnuts but they are not for everyone. Someone says they are chewy, maybe if I used butter flavored shortening or maybe margarine but not with Butter. They are definitely a crispy butter texture. My hubby wants choc. chips in them as I see some others did.

The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies
My daughter made these at Christmas and hers were big, fluffy, soft and delicious. I made them on my day off and chilled them for two days till I needed them and they were fine but did not come out big and fluffy. I don't know if it is because I chilled it too long or not. They tasted really good. My daughter and I tweaked the recipe and we added and extra cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup powdered sugar. I had no problems with extra sticky dough like some complained about. They taste really good and I will just try and cut them thicker.
