Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Jumbo Blueberry Muffins
About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
I'm more of a baker than a cook. While my mother was best at making pies I find myself drawn more towards cakes, cookes and other desserts.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Christmas cookie day. My mother, sister and I used to take a day to do this. After our mother passed away we continued it and have somehow managed to add more cookies and people to our lists :)
My cooking triumphs
Cooking a 52 lb. homegrown turkey!
My cooking tragedies
Making chocolate chip pie and having to make 5 crusts to get it right or possibley the apple bread that was in fact a brick substitute

Death By Garlic
I've made this a couple times and my husband and I LOVE it! I half the recipe since it's just the two of us but I love adding different ingredients each time (sauteed mushroms and steamed asparagus my favorite right now) and will be trying broccoli and onions next time. This is great if you want to do a meatless meal

Greek Honey Cake
Wasn't sure if I had done it right with the puddling of honey at the bottom but a Greek woman where I work said it's exactly how it's suppose to be. I cut it into thin slice (any bigger is too much) and was a big hit.

Strawberry Pie II
I use a very similar recipe to this from a Farm Journals Pie Book (from 1965). Mine just calls for more berries (1 1/2 qts.) and less water (only 1/2 cup). You crush 1 cup worth of berries and add the water to that. Mix the sugar and cornstarch together (will blend much better) and then bring the whole thing to a boil. Let it boil for 2 minutes until thick and translucent. Add 1 tbs. butter and let it cool before adding to the crust. I find that it avoids getting a soggy crust that way. I would highly (highly, highly, highly) advise never to use store bought strawberries. If you have a farmers market or a pick-your-own place just use those. You'll never get the true flavor of the pie otherwise. I just made this yesterday for Father's Day (made a 10-inch version) and there's none left. Also good to try this with other fruit (I've done raspberries and peaches)
