About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
I love baking. Cakes, cookies and cinnamon rolls are probably the most fun for me. I also love trying new recipes, and determining those tried and true recipes which will become family favorites for years to come.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Nothing says traditional family cooking to me like home-made chicken and noodles. My grandmother and mother have both made them, and while I've only made them once I know they will become a more regular part of my cooking as my family grows.
My cooking triumphs
Mastering the cinnamon roll recipe of a much admired expert baker.
My cooking tragedies
I can't think of any huge tragedies off the top of my head. I'm like many. I try lots of new things and sometimes they just aren't the best. Usually not terrible, but certainly not great!

Corn on the Grill
We really enjoyed this. I thought the garlic might be too strong, but it wasn't at all. Super easy too!

Almost No Fat Banana Bread
Bread looks beautiful and tastes pretty good for low fat. I guess I just don't like the extra stickiness you get with low fat recipes. It's just a texture thing for me. I would probably make again though.

Baked Sweet Potato Sticks
Was really excited about this recipe as a great way to get my toddler to eat this super food, however they just didn't turn out well. They were really soft when I expected them to be at least a little crisp. The taste was okay, but I'd rather just make baked sweet potatoes.
